Question

Quiz: It's 3:35. If the clock is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, what time will?​

Answer 1

Answer:

if the clock is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, 3 would take the place of 12 and the Hour Hand would be between 1 and 2 and the Minute Hand would be on 7. Just because of the positions of Hour Hand and Minute Hand, the time would be 1:35. Just a word of caution

Answer 2

Given: It's 3:35. The clock is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

To find: The time.

Solution:

A clock is usually a circle (360°) divided into 12 parts such that each part forms an arc that subtends 30° to the centre. Each part is equal to 5 minutes so 30 is equal to 5 minutes. So, 90° would be,

$\frac{90}{30} * 5 = 15$

This means that the minute hand has to turn 15 minutes in the anticlockwise direction.

$35 - 15 = 20$

So the minute hand would now represent 20 minutes and hence, the time is 3:20.

Therefore, the time is 3:20.
