UPSC CAPF AC 2018 Paper

When the minute hand covers 60-minutes, then the hour hand covers 5-minute So, 55 minute more covers in 60 minute.
⇒ Distance covers in 1-minute =

60

55

∵ The time between both hand at 2 – o’clock = 10 minute And 12 minute difference at 2 and 3 o’clock = (10 + 12) minute = 22 minute
∴ The distance covers in 22 minute =

60

55

×22= 24 minute
So, There will be a difference of 12 – minutes between both hands of clock at 2 : 24.
