Rules for solving Cryptarithmetic Problems
Each Letter or Symbol represents only one digit throughout the problem
When letters are replaced by their digits,the resultant arithmetical operation must be correct.
Our aim is to find the value of each letter.
No two letters represent the same digit (If A = 2, B cannot be 2 and so on).
Number can't begin with 0
Rules are:
1. 0 * n = 0
2. 1 * n = n
3. 5 * odd number = x5
like 5 * 1 = 05 (x = 0)
5 * 3 = 15 (x = 1)
5 * 7 = 35 (x = 3)
5 * 9 = 45 (x = 4)
4. 5 * even number = always 0
like 5 * 2 = 0
5 * 4 = 0
5 * 6 = 0
5 * 8 = 0
5.. even number * 6 = (x)(even number) where x can be 1/2/4
like 2 * 6 = 12 (x = 1)
4 * 6 = 24 (x = 2)
8 * 6 = 35 (x = 4)

Every year more than four lac graduates are coming out of the college in India. Majority of them are engineers and no campus placement in most of the college. The students are moving to IT cities like Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai and Noida for searching better career.
Many companies don’t have any job opportunities. So students are looking for best exams like Elitmus, Amcat exam in order to get the best career in good company with higher pay package.
Elitmus is one of the competitive exam for entry level engineers. it is one of the India’s largest assessment and recruitment test. Elitmus exam should not be taken lightly and it is really not easy to score more percentile. Its is equivalent to CAT exam. This exam is based on three categories, Aptitude, Logical reasoning and Verbal Ability.
Here is the list of sample paper which I found on the internet after a lot is search. However you should know elitmus does not provide any sample paper or material to prepare. They even take the question paper back at the exam center.
Clock based problems are one of the frequently asked questions in most of the competitive
exam. To solve these problems, it is always better to understand some of the basic principles and the types of problems that get asked. In this post I hereby explained simple tricks and some simple formulas for solving clock based problems.
In every competitive exams clock questions are categorized in to two ways.
- Problems in angles
- Problems on incorrect clocks
Problems in angles
Method :1
Before we actually start solving problems on angles, we need to know couple of basic facts clear:
- Speed of the hour hand = 0.5 degrees per minute (dpm)
- Speed of the minute hand = 6 dpm
- At ‘n’ o’ clock, the angle of the hour hand from the vertical is 30n
The questions based upon these could be of the following types
Example : 1
What is the angle between the hands of the clock at 7:20
At 7 o’ clock, the hour hand is at 210 degrees from the vertical.
In 20 minutes,
Hour hand = 210 + 20*(0.5) = 210 + 10 = 220 {The hour hand moves at 0.5 dpm}
Minute hand = 20*(6) = 120 {The minute hand moves at 6 dpm}
Difference or angle between the hands = 220 – 120 = 100 degrees
Method : 2
Example :2
At what time 3&4’o clock in the hands of clock together.
Approximately we know at 03:15 hands of the clock together
So 15*60/55=16.36 min
Example : 3
Find the reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 05.30?
The above problem are solved by the bellow formula
Angle between X and Y =|(X*30)-((Y*11)/2)|
Angle between hands at 5:30
Step 1: X=5 , Y=30
Step 2: 5*30=150
Step 3: (30*11)/2 = 165
Step 4: 165-150=15
Thus, angle between hands at 5:30 is 15 degrees.
Method : 3
Problems on incorrect clocks
Such sort of problems arise when a clock runs faster or slower than expected pace. When solving these problems it is best to keep track of the correct clock.
Example : 4
A watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes and was set right at 8 AM. What time will it show at 10 PM on the same day?
The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour.
From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours.
In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds.
So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM
Important Notes
- Two right angles per hour(Right angle = 90, Straight angle=180)
- Forty four right angles per day
- Between every two hours the hands of the clock coincide with each other for one time except between 11, 12 and 12, 1.In a day they coincide for 22 times.
- Between every two hours they are perpendicular to each other two times except between 2, 3 and 3, 4 and 8, 9 and 9, 10.In a day they will be perpendicular for 44 times.
- Between every two hours they will be opposite to each other one time except between 5, 6 and 6, 7.In a day they will be opposite for 22 times.
