Solution
In a minute, the hour hand moves by half degrees and the minute hand moves by six degrees. The angle at 3 o'clock between the two hands is 90 degrees. For them to coincide, it should move m minutes 90=0+(6m−m2)
180=12mm
180=11m
m=16411
It should be 16411 past 3 for the two hands to coincide.
