At what time between 4 and 5 o'clock the hands are in opposite direction?

a) 12 2/11 minutes past 2
b) 3 1/11 minutes past 2
c) 15 minutes past 2
d) 54 6/11 minutes past 2

• At 4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apart.
  
  To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart.
  
  Minute hand will have to gain 50 min. spaces.
  
  55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
  so ,,
  60/55*50== 54 6/11

• Formula:
  [11/2*(min)] - [30*(hrs)] = Angle
  Min = [180 + 120] *(2/11) = 54 6/11
