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).
