Solution

At four o'clock, the hour hand will be at 4 and the minute hand will be at 12. So, the angle between the two hands at four o'clock is 120o.
The hands overlap when the angle between them reduces to zero.
The angle changes by 5.5o in 1 minute.
So, time taken to change the angle by 120o=155×120=21911 minutes.
Therefore, the hands overlap at 21911 minutes past 4.
