Question:

When will the hour and minute hands be 4 minute apart between 3 and 4 o'clock?

Options:

3:12 o'clock

3:26 o'clock

3:48 o'clock

3:38\(\frac{2}{11}\) o'clock

Correct Answer:

3:12 o'clock

Explanation:

M = \(\frac{60}{55}\)(5 × time ± distance)

= \(\frac{12}{11}\)(5 × 3 ± 4) ⇒ \(\frac{12}{11}\)(11)

\(\frac{12}{11}\)×11 = 12 min

So, correct answer is (a).
