As per the given in question ,
At 7 : 20, Number of hours = 7 20 = 7 1 hours 60 3 Number of hours = 22 hours 3
The hour–hand traces 360° in 12 hours.∴ Angle traced by hour hand in 22/3 hours = 360° × 22 = 220° 12 3
Correct Option: C

The hour–hand traces 360° in 12 hours.∴ Angle traced by hour hand in 22/3 hours = 360° × 22 = 220° 12 3
∵ Minute hand traces 360° in 60 minutes.∴ Angle traced by minute hand in 20 minutes = 360° × 20 = 120° 60
∴ Required angle = 220° – 120° = 100°

From the question ,
Power consumed by each machine in 10 hours = k × 10 = 2k kilowatts 5 × t t
Correct Option: C
From the question ,
Power consumed by each machine in 10 hours = k × 10 = 2k kilowatts 5 × t t ∴ Power consumed by three such machines = 3 × 2k = 6k kilowatts t t

According to the question,
Box + 1 part sand = 8.5 kg.Box + 1 filled sand = 5.5 kg. 2
On subtracting of both equations , we getWeight of 1 filled sand = 8.5 - 5.5 = 3 kg. 2
Correct Option: C
According to the question,
Box + 1 part sand = 8.5 kg.Box + 1 filled sand = 5.5 kg. 2
On subtracting of both equations , we getWeight of 1 filled sand = 8.5 - 5.5 = 3 kg. 2
∴ Weight of 1 part sand = 6 kg.
∴ Weight of empty box = (8.5 – 6) kg. = 2.5 kg.
- A man having height 169 cm is standing near a pole. He casts a shadow 130 cm long. What is the length of the pole if it gives a shadow 420 cm long ?

Given that , Height of man = 169 cm
Length of shadow of the pole = 420 cm
Length of shadow of man = 130 cm∴ Height of man = Length of shadow of man Height of pole Length of shadow of pole ⇒ 169 = 130 Height of pole 420
Correct Option: D
Given that , Height of man = 169 cm
Length of shadow of the pole = 420 cm
Length of shadow of man = 130 cm∴ Height of man = Length of shadow of man Height of pole Length of shadow of pole ⇒ 169 = 130 Height of pole 420
⇒ Height of pole × 130 = 169 × 420⇒ Height of pole = 169 × 420 = 546 cm 130
- 11 friends went to a hotel and decided to pay the bill amount equally. But 10 of them could pay 60 each, as a result 11th has to pay 50 extra than his share. Find the amount paid by him.

Suppose Total bill = Rs. p
∴ 10 × 60 + p + 50 = p 11 ⇒ 600 + 50 + p = p 11 ⇒ p - p = 650 11 ⇒ 11p - p = 650 11
⇒ 10p = 650 × 11
⇒ p = 65 × 11 = 715
Correct Option: C
Suppose Total bill = Rs. p
∴ 10 × 60 + p + 50 = p 11 ⇒ 600 + 50 + p = p 11 ⇒ p - p = 650 11 ⇒ 11p - p = 650 11
⇒ 10p = 650 × 11
⇒ p = 65 × 11 = 715∴ Amount paid by the eleventh person = p + 50 = Rs. 750 + 50 11 11
Hence , Amount paid by the eleventh person = Rs. (65 + 50) = Rs. 115
