Q.  At what time between 3 & 4 will the hands of a watch point in opposite directions?
- Published on 03 May 17

a. 43 min past 3
b. 42 (5/11) min past 3
c. 49 (1/11) min past 3
d. 50 min past 3

ANSWER: 49 (1/11) min past 3
 
At 3 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 15 min. space apart.

To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart. 

Minute hand must gain 45 min. space (15 + 30 min)

55 min spaces are gained in 60 min. 

45 min. spaces would be gained in (60/55 × 45) min.

Required time = 49 1/11 min. past 3.
