At what time between 5.30 and 6 will the hands of a clock be at right angles?

Correct Answer: 43 7 min. past 5 11

Explanation:

At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart.


To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) = 40 min. spaces.


55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.



40 min. spaces are gained in 60 x 40 ❩min = 43 7 min.
55 11



∴ Required time = 43 7 min. past 5.
11
