Q. At what time between 7 and 8 will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but, not together?
When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart. At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart. Minute hand must gain only 5 min. space. 55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min. 5 min. spaces would be gained in (60/55) x 5 = 5 (5/11) min Required time = 5 (5/11) min past 7
