How many times in a day, are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours. (Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 o'clock only).
So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions 22 times.

Yes, at first, I too thought it's 24 but the mistake is we assume that while the min hand is rotating hour is always near any hour but the hour hand also moves as time goes.
Anyone, correct me if I am wrong.

In every hour, the two hand are once in opposite direction like:
12:30.
1:35.
2:40.
3:45.
4:50.
5:55.
6:00.
7:05.
8:10.
9:15.
10:20.
11:25.
Which means in 12 hrs, it is 12 times and in 24 hours its 24 times.
12:30.
1:35.
2:40.
3:45.
4:50.
5:55.
6:00.
7:05.
8:10.
9:15.
10:20.
11:25.
Which means in 12 hrs, it is 12 times and in 24 hours its 24 times.

To find a straight angle, opposite 180^ is 60/11*(t+/-3).

In every hour, once hour hand and minute hand will be in opposite direction. It means 24 times in a day, but due to loss of 2 hour, they'll be 22 times only.

I don't know why its answer is 22. I think it should be 24.
