How many times in a day, are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction?
20
22
24
48
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.

Answer is 22. Just try by yourself. Use a clock and start rotating its hands. You'll find your answer.
