CLOCKS

The topic “CLOCKS” holds well importance because every year it is being asked in almost all the competitive exams like IBPS Specialist Officer ; RRB Assistant Loco Pilot ; Staff Selection Commission (SSC) ; SBI PO ; SBI Clerk ; SBI SO ; IBPS PO ; IBPS Clerk. Along with this; it also forms an integral part of the placement related questions that are being asked in the recruitment drives during the process of hiring in the colleges; poll- campus and off-campus. 


CLOCKS form an integral part of the question paper because this is the only topic in the syllabus which holds the questions of Verbal and Non - Verbal Reasoning. At this platform, it is being tried to impart complete knowledge of this topic by providing you with profound knowledge and ample number of questions for practice so as to make you accomplished with the concepts and the shortest route.

 

Time plays a vital role in a competitive exam. Attempting maximum number of questions in stipulated time and that too with higher level of accuracy makes the chances of selection higher. Students are often mistaken  to attempt the reasoning straight in the exams.  Without any prior practice leads the chances of failure to them. Whereas, prior pains  always tend to produce fruitful results. 

Without practice, students end up wasting nearly 1 minute from their precious time in solving a single question without any certainty of accuracy. However,  practice tends to decrease this time by 10 - 15 second  and that too error - free. 


To help you in exams in scoring good marks , gyaanshalaa.blogspot.com is here to serve you by providing so many shortcuts keeping the relevance of the exam in mind. Go through our notes, to surely notice a clear difference between the strategic approach and unversed approach.


Now, we will share all the details of the topic “CLOCKS” along with the examples for practice. 


Four types of question formed from the topic of Clocks are :

  1. Image Based : 

  1.  Mirror Images 

  2. Water Images 

      2. Angle Based : Angle between the Hands of the clock

      3. Time Based : Calculating time between the hands

      4. Error :

HCF and LCM

HCF and LCM FACTORS / DIVISORS = Numbers that divide any number completely, without leaving any Remainder are its factors. Example : Factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.                    Factors of 90 are 1, ,2, 3, 5 , 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90 MULTIPLES =   Numbers that fall in tables of any given number are its Multiples. Examples  : Multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96……                       Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 ….. HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR (H.C.F.) /  GREATEST COMMON DIVISOR (G.C.D.) =   Largest number that divides two or more than two given numbers. Examples : Calculate the  H.C.F. of 45 and 27  Sol : Factors of 45 = 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45       ...

Digital Sum Balance (D.S.)

A single digit is obtained by adding all the digits of a number is called Digital Sum Balance (D.S.)   Ex :  12 → 1 + 2 → 3 24 → 2 + 4 → 6 21 → 2 + 1  → 3 9876 → 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 → 30 → 3 + 0 → 3 3452 → 3 + 4 + 5 + 2 → 14 → 1 + 4 → 5 Or,  On Dividing the digits by 9, the obtained Remainder is Digital Sum Balance.  Ex :    12    ━━ = 3                9      24 ━━━ = 6      9    3452 ━━━━ =  5      9 KEY HIGHLIGHTS : The range of D.S. always falls from 0 to 9. When we add 9 to a number, its Digital Sum will not change therefore in order to calculate Digital Sum we need to cancel out  all the 9’s.  9 + 1 → 10 → 1 9 + 2 → 11 → 2 9 + 3 → 12 → 3 9 + 4 → 13 → 4 9 + 5 → 14 → 5 9 + 6 → 15 → 6 9 + 7 → 16 → 7 9 + 8 → 17 → 8 9 + 9 → 18 → 9 Example : 123 45 → 6 → Digital Sum ...

CLOCKS (ANGLE)

ANGLES A clock is composed of 360 ° with 12 equal divisions. (i.e. 60 Minutes) The angle between any two consecutive divisions = (360°)/12= 30° or 1 Min = 6 °A Angular value of a minute = (30°)/5= 6° Speed of the hands Each needle of a clock covers the angle of 30 °  to go from one division to the next, but it takes different times to cover this distance. Speed of a second hand = 360° per minute.  Speed of a minute hand = 6° per minute. Speed of an hour hand =1/2 ° per minute.  Example : Q 1. How much degree is covered by minute and hour hand between 02 :00 p.m. to 04 : 00 ? 120 ° and 180 ° 60 ° and 120 ° 120 ° and 60°  60 ° and 720 ° Sol : Between 02: 00 to 04 : 00 = 120 minutes. Distance covered by Hour hand =   120 * ½ = 60 °  Minute hand = 120 * 6 ° = 720 ° = 2 rounds of the clock Q 2.  How much degree is covered by  hour hand between 12 noon to 03 : 45 p.m. ? 112.5 ° 150 ° 90 ° None of these Sol :  Between 12: 00 to 03 : 45 = 3 hours...
