Q:

How many minutes does a watch lose per day, if its hands coincide every 64 minutes ?

A) 36 7/9 min B) 32 8/11 min
C) 34 3/11 min D) 65 5/11 min

Answer:   B) 32 8/11 min



Explanation:

55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.

60 min. spaces are covered in open parentheses 60 over 55 cross times 60 close parentheses min. = 65 5 over 11 min.

Loss in 64 min. = open parentheses 65 5 over 11 minus 64 close parentheses equals 16 over 11 min.

Loss in 24 hrs = open parentheses 16 over 11 cross times 1 over 64 cross times 24 cross times 60 close parentheses min. = 32 8 over 11 min.
