1.  How many times do the hands of a clock coincide in a day?
A. 20
B. 21
C. 22
D. 24

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 hours (Since between 11 and 1, they coincide only once, i.e., at 12 o'clock).

AM

12:00
1:05
2:11
3:16
4:22
5:27
6:33
7:38
8:44
9:49
10:55

PM

12:00
1:05
2:11
3:16
4:22
5:27
6:33
7:38
8:44
9:49
10:55

The hands overlap about every 65 minutes, not every 60 minutes.

∴ The hands coincide 22 times in a day.
