SSC CGL Reasoning Clock Detailed Video

Understanding clock concepts becomes easier when students learn through step-by-step explanations and question practice. In this detailed session, Jitin Sir covers important clock concepts, including angle-based questions, opposite hands, coinciding hands, right-angle formation, mirror image, water image, and advanced clock problems. 

Students should watch the complete video for a detailed solution and explanation to solve the practice questions alongside the lecture. This helps in understanding the logic behind each formula and improves confidence while attempting clock-based reasoning questions in the examination. 

SSC CGL Reasoning Clock Practice Questions

After understanding the concepts of clock angles, mirror images, and water images, students should practice different question types regularly. The following questions can help strengthen conceptual clarity and improve problem-solving speed.

(A) 7:10 (10/11)
(B) 7:5 (5/11)
(C) 7:45
(D) None of these

Question 2: At what time between 1 to 2 does the hands of the clock coincide with each other?

(A) 1:5 (05/11)
(B) 1:43 (07/11)
(C) 1:30
(D) 1:15

Question 3: At what time between 5:00 to 5:30 do the hands of the clock make a right angle to each other?
