Question

How many times in a day are the hands of a clock in straight line but in opposite directions?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

22,

How?

Lets say it happnes  at 1:35 nearly actually it is around 1:38 next time this will happen when 2:40 actual value 2:43

so differnce is 1:05 in every staraight line.

Now as everyone know it happens once between a hour like between 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 so on. But it can happens only 11 times in 12 hour because it happens only once between 5 to 7 at 6:00.

you can also deduct this fact by saying that this happens at every 1 hour and 5 minutes (65 minutes) so it can happens only 11 times in 12 hours(720 minutes)

720/65 is almost 11.

the reason behind this is it not always happens at 1:05 but little more than that.

So now you can say that it happens 22 times a day
