In 24 hours, how many times minute and hour hands of a clock overlap?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
In 12 hours, the hands of a clock meet 11 times.
Therefore, in 24 hours (i.e., 2 × 12 hours):
11 × 2 = 22 times.
In 12 hours, they meet 11 times—not 12—(because the starting and ending positions are the same).
Correct Answer = 22
