Question

At what time hands of clock together between 5 and 6?

• A. $33\frac{3}{11}$min past 5
• B. $28\frac{3}{11}$min past 5
• C. 30 min past 5
• D. $27\frac{3}{11}$min past 5

Answer 1

The correct option is D $27\frac{3}{11}$min past 5

At 5 o'clock two hands are 25 minutes apart. Therefore in order to coincide the long hand must gain 25 minutes as 55 minutes are gained by minute hand in 60 minutes.
Hence 25 minutes are gained by minute hand in 60 minutes.
