  • Question
  • At what time between 5 and 5 : 30 is the hands of a clock 5 min apart?


  • Options
  • A. 204/11 min past 5
  • B. 217/11 min past 5
  • C. 208/11 min past 5
  • D. 219/11 min past 5

  • Correct Answer
  • 219/11 min past 5 

    Explanation

    At 5 O' clock, the minute hand is 25 min space apart. The two hands will be 5 min apart between 5 and 5 : 30, if the minute hand is (25 - 5) i.e, 20 min spaces behind the hour hand.
    Now, 55 min are gained in 60 min.
    20 min are gained in = (60/55 x 20) = (240/11) = 219/11 min
    So, the hands will be 5 min apart at 219/11 min past 5.
