c.
d.
Answer: (d)
Speed of minute hand = 12 units per hour
Speed of hour hand = 1 unit per hour.
Relative speed of minute hand w.r.t. Hour hand = 11 units per hour
Time taken by minute hand to reach hour hand considering relative speed of minute hand = 9 units/11 units hour = 9/11 hour = 9/11 x 60 = 540/11 = 49 x 1/11minutes
Time when minute hand and hour hand coincide =
Direction: (Q. 51 & 52) Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
The sum of the income of A and B is greater than the income of both C and D. The sum of the income of A and C is equal to the income of both B and D. A earns half of the sum of B’s and D’s income.
Question 51. Which of the following statement is false?
a. A’s income is more than B’s
b. B’s income is more than D’s
c. C’s income is more than D’s
d. All are right
Answer: (a)
Given that, A + B > C + D …(i)
A + C = B + D …(ii)
A = 12(B + D) B + D = 2A …(iii)
From (ii) and (iii)
A = C …(iv)
Putting A = Cin (i)
B > D Now, adding B on both sides,
2B > B + D
2B > 2A
B > A
B > D Now, adding D on both sides,
B + D > D + D
We get, 2A > 2D
A > D
Hence, B > A = C > D
So, A’s income is more than B is a false statement.
Question 52. Who has the highest income?
a. A
b. B
c. C
d. D
Answer: (b)
B has the highest income as can be seen from the order of incomes.

Question 53. Find the time between 9 : 00 and 10:00 when the clock needles are in opposite direction
a.
b.
c.
d. None
Answer: (b)
Minute hand covers 360o in 60 minutes, i.e., 6o in a minute, whereas hour hand covers 30o in an hour, i.e., 0.5o in a minute.
Relative degrees covered by minute hand in 1 minute = 6-0.5 = 5.5o.
Relative degrees to be covered so that minute hand and hour hand are opposite = 180o-90o.
(since at 9:00 they are already 90o apart)
Time taken to cover 90o = 90/5.5 = 180/11 =
Time when the needles are in opposite direction =

Question 55. What day was on 8 March 2011?
a. Monday
b. Tuesday
c. Wednesday
d. None
Answer: (b)
Let’s start from 2000 and count the number of odd days till 2010.
Number of odd days = 10+2 = 12, which is effectively 5 odd days after removing a week’s worth of days.
(10 years + 2 leap years)
Calculating number of odd days in 2011 till the said date:
= 3 (January) + 0 (February) + 8 (March) = 11
Total odd days = 11+12 = 23
Removing 3 week worth of days we have remainder 2. Hence, the day on 8th March 2011 is Tuesday (the second day of the week).
