Answer 1

Hey there!
I am here to help!

The time is 5 5/11 minutes after 7

If the hands of a clock to be in the same line but not together, then there should be a difference of 30 minutes

At 7 o'clock, they have a difference of 25 mins

Minute hand will have to gain 5 minutes

55 minutes are gained in 60 minutes

So, 5 minutes are gained in x minutes

5/x=55/60

5*60/55=x

60/11=x

5 5/11 =x

So, the time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but, not together is 5 5/11 mins past 7

hope helped!
