Question

At what time between 7'O and 8'O clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but next together? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

5511min.past7

Explanation:

When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart.

At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.

∴ Minute hand will have to gain only 5 min. spaces.

55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.

5 min. spaces are gained in (6055×5)min=5511min∴Requiredtime=5511min.past7
