Q. At what time between 7 and 8 will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but, not together?- Published on 15 May 17a. 5 (5/11) min past 7
b. 5 (4/11) min past 7
c. 5 (3/11) min past 7
d. 5 (2/11) min past 7
ANSWER: 5 (5/11) min past 7
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.
Minute hand must gain only 5 min. space.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
5 min. spaces would be gained in (60/55) x 5 = 5 (5/11) min
Required time = 5 (5/11) min past 7
