It is very simple if you know difference between statements
"straight" and "straight line but opposite in direction"
(a)if statement is "straight" then answer is = 44.
(hands will be straight 2 times in hour,when they are opposite
and second when they coincide)
(b)if statement is "straight line but opposite in
direction" then answer is = 22.
(hands will be straight but opposite once in hour)
