Verbal Classification: At what time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a watchpoint be in opposite directions?
Correct answer: A. (54 + 6/11) past 4
- A. (54 + 6/11) past 4
- B. (54 + 8/11) past 4
- C. (53 + 7/11) past
- D. Both Options A and B are correct
Explanation
At 4 o'clock the hands of a watch are 20 minutes spaces apart. To be in opposite directions, they must be in 30 minutes spaces apart. So, the minute hand will have to gain 50-minute spaces. 55-minute spaces are gained in 60 minutes. 50 minute spaces are gained in = (60 ÷ 55) × 50 = 54 (6/11) So, the required time = 54 (6/11) minutes past 4. Hence, the correct answer is (54 + 6/11) minutes past 4.
