A watch gains 10 s in 5 min was set correct at 9.00 am. When the watch indicated 20 min past 7.00 pm in the same evening, the correct time is





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2014 PYQ

Solution

Watch gains 10s in 5 min
$\text{Gain rate} = \dfrac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ s per minute}$
$\text{Every } 60 \text{ s real time} \Rightarrow \text{watch shows } 62 \text{ s}$

Watch time elapsed:
$9:00 \text{ am to } 7:20 \text{ pm} = 10 \text{ hr } 20 \text{ min} = 620 \text{ min}$

Real time formula:
$\text{Real time} = \text{Watch time} \times \dfrac{60}{62}$

$= 620 \times \dfrac{60}{62}$

$= \dfrac{37200}{62}$

$= 600 \text{ minutes}$

$= 10 \text{ hours}$

Correct Time:
$9:00 \text{ am} + 10 \text{ hours} = \boxed{7:00 \text{ pm}}$

How many times do the hour and the minute hands of a clock overlap in 24 hours?





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2015 PYQ

Solution

In 12 hours, the hour and minute hands overlap 11 times. 
So in 24 hours, they overlap 11 × 2 = 22 times.

MCA NIMCET PYQ
It was 9.35 AM in Garvita’s watch, which kept correct time, when Manya informed her that the last bus left the bus stop at 9.25 am. Manya’s watch is 5 min fast. The frequency of the bus is every 20 min. For how long Garvita must wait to catch the next bus?





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2020 PYQ

Solution

Garvita’s time is correct, so current time = 9:35 AM.
Manya’s watch is 5 minutes fast, so 9:25 AM on Manya’s watch means actual time = 9:20 AM.
Buses come every 20 minutes, so next bus after 9:20 AM is at 9:40 AM (actual time).
Waiting time = 9:40 AM − 9:35 AM = 5 minutes.

Answer: 5 minutes

A clock is set right at $8$ a.m. The clock gains $10$ minutes in $24$ hours. What will be the correct time when the clock shows $1$ p.m. next day?





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2011 PYQ

Solution

Clock reading from $8$ a.m. to next day $1$ p.m.: $ 29\ \text{hours (clock time)} $ Clock gains $10$ minutes in $24$ hours ⇒ it runs $\dfrac{145}{144}$ times faster. Real time: $ 29 \times \dfrac{144}{145} = 28.8\ \text{hours} $ $ 0.8\text{ hrs} = 48\text{ min} $ Add $28$ hours $48$ minutes to $8$ a.m.: $ 8\text{ a.m.} + 28\text{ hrs} = 12\text{ noon next day} $ Then $+48$ minutes = $12:48$ p.m.

A clock is set right at 5 AM. The clock loses 16 minutes in 24 hours.What will be the true time when the clock indicates 10 p.m. on 4th day?





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET PYQ

Solution

A clock is set right at 5 AM. It loses 16 minutes in 24 hours.

In 24 hours of correct time, the faulty clock runs only:
$24 - \frac{16}{60}$ hours $= 24 - \frac{4}{15} = \frac{360-4}{15} = \frac{356}{15}$ hours

So, speed ratio (Faulty : Correct) is:
$\dfrac{\text{Faulty time}}{\text{Correct time}} = \dfrac{24 - \frac{16}{60}}{24} = \dfrac{356/15}{24} = \dfrac{356}{360} = \dfrac{89}{90}$

That is, in the time when correct clock shows 90 hours, faulty clock shows 89 hours.
So,
$89$ hours of faulty clock $= 90$ hours of correct clock.

Now, find how many hours the faulty clock indicates from 5 AM (Day 1) to 10 PM (Day 4):
From 5 AM Day 1 to 5 AM Day 4 $= 3$ days $= 72$ hours
From 5 AM Day 4 to 10 PM Day 4 $= 17$ hours
So total indicated (faulty) time:
$72 + 17 = 89$ hours

Since $89$ faulty hours correspond to $90$ correct hours, the true elapsed time is:
$90$ hours $= 3$ days $+ 18$ hours

Start time was 5 AM (Day 1). After 3 days, it will be 5 AM (Day 4).
Add 18 hours to 5 AM (Day 4):
$5\ \text{AM} + 18\ \text{hours} = 11\ \text{PM}$

Therefore, when the faulty clock indicates 10 PM on the 4th day,
the true time is $11\ \text{PM}$.

Jimmy saw the time while going to the tennis court. He saw the hour hand is 20° away from 4. After he returned from tennis court, he noticed that the hour hand is 20° away from 4. If he took ten minutes to go to tennis court and he walked at the same speed while going to the tennis court and while returning, how much time did he spent at the tennis court?

A watch which gains 10 seconds in 5 minutes was set correct at 9 a.m. When the watch indicated 20 minutes past 7 o’clock the same evening, the true time is:





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2008 PYQ

Solution

The watch gains 10 seconds in 300 seconds. So it gains 1 second in 30 seconds. Time shown = 10 hours 20 minutes = 620 minutes. Actual time = 620 − (620 ÷ 30) = 600 minutes = 10 hours. So true time = 7 p.m.
