there are sixty markings on a clock, minutes hand was exactly on one of those markings. nine markings away from the minutes hand was hours hand. what could be the time.
Select.
A) 5:14 B) 6:20 C) 7:48 D) 3:09 E) 3:19
given angle diff=9mins   we know   1min=6 deg   therefore 9mins=9*6= 
<gadget id="calculator">9*6</gadget>
<output>54</output>
54 deg   so the angle diff must be 54 deg   better to go through the options   let us consider   A.5hrs 14mins   find angle   angle traced by hour hand=(5*30)+(14/2)= 
<gadget id="calculator">(5*30)+(14/2)</gadget>
<output>157</output>
157   angle traced by minute hand=(14*6)= 
<gadget id="calculator">(14*6)</gadget>
<output>84</output>
84   angle diff=157-84= 
<gadget id="calculator">157-84</gadget>
<output>73</output>
73   similarly for option C.   angle traced by hour hand=(7*30)+(48/2)= 
<gadget id="calculator">(7*30)+(48/2)</gadget>
<output>234</output>
234   angle traced by minute hand=(48*6)= 
<gadget id="calculator">(48*6)</gadget>
<output>288</output>
288   angle diff=(288-234)= 
<gadget id="calculator">(288-234)</gadget>
<output>54</output>
54   ANSWER:7:48
