Two hands of clock meet at 12. Next time they meet again after

Solution

In 60 min , min hand moves by 360 deg and hour hand moves by 30 deg.

After 60 min diff in angles = 360-30 = 330 deg.

For meeting again, diff of angles should be 360 deg.

Angle will be 360 deg after 360*60/330 = 720/11 min from 12O'clock
i.e. after 65 5/11 mins

Sanjana Patnaik  (13 years ago)

When the hour hand and minute hand meet, the angle between them is 0 degrees
Applying the formula:11/2m-30h=0degrees
11/2m=360
m=720/11=65m 45s
Hence they meet again at 12hours past 65min 45s(1 o'clok past 5m 45s)
