At what time between 5.30 & 6 will the hands of a watch be at right angle?

Answer: A

At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart. 
To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand must gain 40 min
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
40 min. spaces would be gained in (60/55 × 40) min. = 43 7/11 min. 
Required time = 43(7/11) min. past 5.

How much does a watch gain or lose per day, if its hands coincide every 64 minutes? 

Answer: D

55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.

60 min. spaces are covered in (60/55 × 60) min = 65 5/11 min
 Loss in 64 min = (65 5/11 - 64) = 16/11 min
Loss in 24 hrs= (16/11 × 1/64 × 24 × 60) min = 32 (8/11) min.

What is the angle between the hands of the clock at 3:40?

Answer: C

At 3 o’ clock, the hour hand is at 90 degrees from the vertical. In 40 minutes,
Hour hand = 90 + 40*(0.5) = 90 + 20 = 110 (The hour hand moves at 0.5 dpm)
Minute hand = 40*(6) = 240 (The minute hand moves at 6 dpm)
Difference or angle between the hands = 240 – 110 = 130 degrees.
