Clocks | Maths


  • The clock represents two things- minutes and hour.
  • The smaller one is hour hand .
  • The larger one is minute hand.

  • The minute hand makes one complete rotation (360°) in 60 minute .
  • The angle traced by minute hand in 1 min = 360/60= 6°

  • The hour hand makes one complete rotation (360°) in 12 hours.
  • The angle traced by hour hand in 1 hour = 360/12= 30°
  • The angle traced by hour hand in 1 min = 30/60= 1/2°

  • The hands of the clock are opposite to each other for 11 times in 12 hours and 22 times in a day. 
  • Between 5 and 7 the hands are at opposite direction only once at 6’ O clock

  • The hands of the clock coincide each other for 11 times in 12 hours and 22 times in a day. 
  • Between 11 and 1 the hands coincide only once at 12’ O clock

  • The hands are at right angles 44 times in a day

  • Angle between hour hand and minute hand is 30H - 11/2 M
H - hour , M - Minute
If the angle exceeds 180° subtract from 360° ignore the negative sign

  • To get mirror image time upto 11’ O clock , subtract the given time from 11:60 
  • If the time is between 11 ’O clock and 1 ‘O clock , subtract the given time from 23:60
