Question

If the minute hand is 54° ahead of hours hand in a watch when the time is between 7 and 8 o clock find the time shown by the watch?

Answer 1

the time should be 11:10

Answer 2

7:48

Step-by-step explanation:

For solving this question you must know that a minute hand goes 11/2° ahead of hour hand in 1 minute

Now, we need to calculate the time at which 11/2° goes so much ahead that it outrun 210°( degree measurement of 7 o clock) by 54° .

therefore

11n/2 -210°= 54

11n/2 =54+210

11n= 264 × 2

n = 528÷11

n=48

therefore time = 7:48
