      Question

      At what time, in minutes, between 5 o’clock and 6

      o’clock, both the needles will coincide each other?
      A 28*2/11 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 27*3/11 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 17*3/11 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 25 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      At 5 o’clock, the minute hand is 25 minutes spaces apart from the hour hand. To be coincident, it must gain 25 minutes spaces. 55 minutes gained in 60 minutes. 25 minutes are gained in (60/55×25) min = 300/11 minutes or 27*3/11 minutes ∴ Required time = 27*3/11 minutes past 5.
