Find the time between 5 and 6 o'clock when the two hands of clock are 6 minutes spaces apart.

(a) 3 2/11 minutes past 5 o'clock
(b) 6 6/11 minutes past 5 o'clock
(c) 208/11 minutes past 5 o'clock
(d) 4 2/11 minutes past 5 o'clock

• At 5 O' clock the minute hand is 25min spaces behind the hour hand
  
  case 1 :- Minute hand is 6min spaces behind of the hour hand
  In this case , the minute hand has to gain (25-6) = 19minute spaces
  55 min spaces are gained in 60 min
  19 min spaces are gained in [(19/55) * 60] = (20) 8/11 min.
  
  case 1 :- Minute hand is 6min spaces behind of the hour hand
  In this case , the minute hand has to gain (25-6) = 19minute spaces
  55 min spaces are gained in 60 min
  19 min spaces are gained in [(19/55) * 60] = (20) 8/11 min.
  case 2 :- Minute hand is 6min spaces ahead of the hour hand
  In this case , the minute hand has to gain (25+6) = 31minute spaces
  55 min spaces are gained in 60 min
  31 min spaces are gained in [(31/55) * 60] = (33) 9/11 min.

• minute hand should travel 19 mis or 31 mins to have gape of 6 mins...so in case of 19 mins (19*60/55) and in case of 31 mins (31*60/55) will be the ans...for above question c is ans...i.e 20*8/11

• when clock is at 5 o'clock minute hand and hour hand is 25 minutes space apart. to be 6 minutes space apart the minute hand should be at 19 minutes. so for 55minutes spaces are gained at 60 min.
  so 6 min will be gain at (60/55)*6. so option (b) is the answer.

• 1min-->6deg
  6min-->36 deg
  
  5*30=150 deg....but both are 6 min apart it means 150-36=114 deg distance
  T=d/s=114/(11/2)=228/11=20 8/11..ans is C

• 1min-->6deg
  6min-->36 deg
  
  5*30=150 deg....but both are 6 min apart it means 150-36=114 deg distance
  T=d/s=114/(11/2)=228/11=20 8/11..ans is C
