Open in App

Solution

They will be opposite to each other when there is a space of 30 minutes between them
This will happen when the minute hand gains (30+20) minutes = 50 minutes
The minute hand gains 50 minutes in
50×6055=54611 minutes
i.e., they will point in opposite directions at 54611 minutes
past 4.
