Question

At what time between 2 and 3 o'clock will the hands of a clock be together?

• A. (9 + 10/11) min past 2
• B. (10 + 10/11) min past 2
• C. (11 + 10/11) min past 2
• D. (12 + 10/11) min past 2

Answer 1

The correct option is B (10 + 10/11) min past 2

At 2 o’ clock, the hands are 60 degrees apart.
Every minute, the minute hand gains 5.5 degrees over the hour hand.
So, to cover 60 degrees = $\frac{60}{5.5}=10+\frac{10}{11}$ minutes past 2
