Q:

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

A) 11	B) 22

Explanation:

The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every

Q:

At what time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but,not together?

A) (5 + 5/11 )min past 7	B) (6 + 5/11) min past 7
C) 7	D) 8

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) (5 + 5/11 )min past 7

Explanation:

When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart.
At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.
$\therefore$ Minute hand will have to gain only 5 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.

5 min spaces are gained in $(\frac{60}{55} * 5)$ min = $5 \frac{5}{11}$ min

so, Required time = $5 \frac{5}{11}$ min past 7

Q:

Find at what time between 8 and 9 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but not together ?

A) 100/11 min past 8	B) 120/11 min past 8
C) 90/11 min past 8	D) 80/11 min past 8

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 120/11 min past 8

Explanation:

In this type of problems the formulae is $(5 x - 30) \times \frac{12}{11}$
x is replaced by the first interval of given time Here i.e 8
$(5 * 8 - 30) * \frac{12}{11}$
= $\frac{120}{11}$ min

Therefore the hands will be in the same straight line but not
together at $\frac{120}{11}$ min.past 8.
