Question

At what time, between twelve o'clock and one o'clock, will the hands of the clock overlap again?

• A. 12 hours $50\frac{2}{11}$ minutes
• B. 12 hours 45 minutes
• C. 12 hours 59 minutes
• D. Never happen
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D Never happen

At twelve o'clock, the 2 hands are overlapping.
As the minutes pass, the minutes hand moves farther away from the hours hand.
Therefore, between twelve o'clock and 1 o'clock, the hands will not overlap again.
