A clock is set at 7:00 AM. The minute hand moves 270°. What time is it?
Correct answer: A. 7: 45 AM
- A. 7: 45 AM
- B. 11:00 AM
- C. 12:30 PM
- D. 12:00 PM
Explanation
The minute hand of a clock moves at a rate of 6 degrees per minute (360 degrees divided by 60 minutes). To find out how many minutes correspond to a 270° movement, divide 270 by 6, which equals 45 minutes. Starting from 7:00 AM and adding 45 minutes results in 7:45 AM, making Option A the correct choice. The other options do not reflect a movement of 270° from the starting time of 7:00 AM.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
