Question

for how many times the minute hand of a clock will be opposite the hour hand from 3:00pm on Friday to 11:00am on the subsequent Sunday?​

Answer 1

Answer:

40 times

Step-by-step explanation:

From, 3:00 p.m. on Friday to 3.00 p.m. on Saturday (i.e., exactly one day), it occurs 22 times. From 3:00 a.m. Sunday to11:00 a.m. Sunday (i.e., exactly 8 hours), the exception time i.e., 6:00 a.m. lies in between. Hence, both the hands will be opposite for (22 + 11 + 7) = 40 times.
