Question

How many times in a day, are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction?

• A. $20$
• B. $22$
• C. $24$
• D. $48$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $22$

The hands of a clock point in the opposite directions (in the same straight line) $11$ times in every $12$ hours. (Because between $5$ and $7$ they point in opposite directions at $6$o'clock only).
So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions $22$ times.
