Type 2 Time Sequence Test

How many times do the hands of a clock form a right angle in a 12-hour period?

If a clock shows 8:00, at what time will the hands be opposite each other for the first time?

If a clock is set correctly at 5 am but loses 16 minutes in 24 hours, what time will it show if it indicates 10 pm on the 4th day?

When the minute hand of a clock gains on the hour hand, how much time does it gain in 60 minutes?

How many minutes apart are the hands of a clock when they form a right angle?

Type 2 Time Sequence Test - Clock

A clock has two hands: the smaller hour hand and the larger minute hand.
The clock's face is divided into 12 numbers (big divisions) and 60 small divisions.
In 60 minutes, the minute hand gains 55 minutes on the hour hand.
The hands coincide (overlap) once every hour.
The hands are in a straight line when opposite each other.
The hands are at a 90-degree angle when 15 minutes apart.
The hands are in opposite directions when 30 minutes apart.
Both hands are at right angles twice in an hour (22 times in 12 hours, and 44 times in 24 hours).
Both hands are in a straight line or opposite each other once per hour (11 times in 12 hours, and 22 times in 24 hours).

Example Calculations

Example 11: A person is 15 minutes early for a meeting set for 8:30 a.m. and they found they were half an hour earlier than someone else who was 40 minutes late. The correct meeting time was 8:05 a.m.
Example 12: The hands of a clock will form a right angle between 5:30 and 6 o'clock in 43 minutes past 5.
Example 13: A clock is set at 5 a.m. It loses 16 minutes in 24 hours; if the clock reads 10 p.m on the 4th day then the correct time is 11 p.m.
