    What is the time at 2 and 3 o'clock when both the hands of the clock (minute and hour) are pointing towards each other make an angle of 180° with each
    Question

    What is the time at 2 and 3 o'clock when both the hands of the clock (minute and hour) are pointing towards each other make an angle of 180° with each other?

    A.

    2 hours 35 311\frac {3}{11}​ minutes

    B.

    2:30

    C.

    2:43 711\frac {7}{11}​ minutes

    D.

    2:22 311\frac {3}{11}​ minutes

    Correct option is C

    Solution:
    Formula to calculate the time when both hands of the clock make an angle of 180°:
    Time = 6011×\frac {60}{11} \times | Initial angle between hands - 180°|
    Initial angle at 2:00:
    Angle = 30 ×\times 2 = 60°
    Time after 2:00 when the make 180°:
    Time = 60×(18060)11×30\frac {60 \times (180 - 60)}{11 \times 30}
    60×120330\frac {60 \times 120}{330}

    7200330\frac {7200}{330}

    24011\frac {240}{11}
    = 21911\frac {9}{11}
    Exact time:
    2:43711\frac {7}{11}minutes
    Thus, correct option is (c).
    \ngle=30×2=60°\text{Angle} = 30 \times 2 = 60°​​​
