      hands of a watch be in opposite directions?
      A 49*1/11 min past 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 50*4/11 min past 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 40 min past 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 45 min past 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      At 3 o’clock, the hands of the watch are 15 minutes, spaces apart. To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 minutes spaces apart. ∴ Minute hand will have to gain 45 minutes spaces. 55 minutes spaces are gained in 60 minutes. 45 minutes spaces are gained in (60/55×45) min or 49*1/11 min ∴ Required time = 49*1/11 min past 3.
