    Question

    ​At what time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but, not together ?

    A.

    53115\frac{3}{11}​ minutes past 7​

    B.

    52115\frac{2}{11}​ minutes past 7​

    C.

    5 minutes past 7​

    D.

    55115\frac{5}{11}​ minutes past 7​

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but, not together.

    Formula Used:

    θ=30H112M\theta= |30H - \frac{11}{2}M|

    Where;

    H is hand,

    M is minutes

    Logic: 

    θ=180°\theta = 180\degree

    H = 7 

    180°=30×7112M180\degree = |30\times 7 - \frac{11}{2}M|

    180=210112M180 = 210 - \frac{11}{2}M

    112M=210180\frac{11}{2}M = 210 - 180

    112M=30\frac{11}{2}M = 30

    M=6011M = \frac{60}{11}

    M = 55115\frac{5}{11} minutes

    Thus, the correct answer is (d).
