Question:

At what time, between 3'o clock and 4'o clock, both the hands will coincide with each other?

Options:

$5 \frac{1}{11}$ minutes

$12 \frac{4}{11}$ minutes

$13 \frac{4}{11}$ minutes

$16 \frac{4}{11}$ minutes

Correct Answer:

$16 \frac{4}{11}$ minutes

Explanation:

At 3 o'clock, the minute hand is 15 min. spaces apart from the hour hand.

To be coincident, it must gain 15 min. spaces.

55 min. are gained in 60 min.

So, 15 mins are gained in 60/55 x 15mins => 180/11 mins

so, it will be $16 \frac{4}{11}$ minutes
