  • B. 328/11 min
  • C. 31 min
  • D. None of the above

  • Correct Answer
  • 328/11 min 

    Explanation

    If the minute hand of a clock overtakes the hour hand at interval N min of the correct time, then clock losses or gains by
    The required result = [(720/11) - N) ] x [(60 x 24)/N) min
    Positive for gain and negative for loss Here, N = 64

    required time = [(720/11) - 64) ] x [(60 x 24)/64) min
    = 328/11 min
