Worked practice questions

A striking clock rings 1 stroke at 1 o'clock up to 24 strokes at 24 o'clock. How many strokes a day?

  1. 288
  2. 276
  3. 312
  4. 300
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 300

1. Add the numbers 1 to 24. 2. The sum is 24 x 25 / 2 = 300. 3. This heavy total is why such striking clocks wore out their mechanism and some towns switched to 1 to 12 twice. _Source: Wikipedia, 24-hour clock, History_

A clock rings 1 to 12 strokes twice a day. How many strokes does it ring in all?

  1. 144
  2. 156
  3. 78
  4. 168
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 156

1. One round of 1 to 12 strokes totals 12 x 13 / 2 = 78. 2. Two rounds a day total 78 x 2 = 156. 3. 78 is only one round, and 144 is 12 x 12. _Source: Wikipedia, 24-hour clock, History_
