How many times do the hands of a clock coincide in a day? 
Question

How many times do the hands of a clock coincide in a day? 

A.

24

B.

22

C.

21

D.

20

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) 22.

The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 hours. Since a full day consists of 24 hours, the total number of coincidences in a day is:

11×2=2211 \times 2 = 22​​

This happens because the hands overlap approximately every 65 minutes, not exactly every 60 minutes.
