How many times in a day the hour hand and minute hand of a clock will be in a straight line?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours. (Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 o'clcok only).
Thus, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions 22 times.
