According to me, it would be 1 + 23 X 2 = 47 times.
The explanation is like this:
1st Hour: 1 time (starting point to be ignored but the ending point to be considered).
2nd Hour to 24th Hour: 2 times every hour.
So, it would be 47 times.

No, @Siva Kumar.
It will be 44 times because in 12 hours.
11+11= 22.
So, 22*2= 44.
So, You are right @George.

Coincide = 22 times.
straight but opposite = 22 times.
straight (coincide + opposite) = 44 times.
So the answer is 44.
straight but opposite = 22 times.
straight (coincide + opposite) = 44 times.
So the answer is 44.

I think straight= coincide+ opposide.
So, we got 44.
