Solution
The correct option is B 22
The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12
hours (Since between 11 and 1,
they coincide only once, i.e.,
at 12 o'clock). The hands
overlap about every 65 minutes, not every 60 minutes. Thus the minute hand and
the hour hand coincide 22 times
in a day.
Option C is correct.
