Question

At what time between 2 and 3 will the hands of a clock be in the straight line but not together

• A. 45 minutes past 2
• B. 35 minutes past 2
• C. 42 minutes past 2
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

None of these

Given angle = ${180}^{\circ }$
$-180=30\times 2-\frac{11}{2}y$
$-240=-\frac{11}{2}y$
$y=\frac{480}{11}=43\frac{7}{11}min$
So time is $43\frac{7}{11}$ min past 2
Ans (D)
