How much does a watch lose per day, if its hands coincide every 64 minutes?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.
| 60 min. spaces are covered in |  |
60 | x 60 |  min. |
= 65 | 5 | min. |
| 55 | 11 |
| Loss in 64 min. = | |
65 | 5 | - 64 | |
= | 16 | min. |
| 11 | 11 |
| Loss in 24 hrs = | |
16 | x | 1 | x 24 x 60 | min. |
= | 32 | 8 | min. |
| 11 | 64 | 11 |

Watch coincide every 65 5/11 min
Loss in 64 minutes= (65 5/11- 64)= 16/11
Loss in 1 minute= (16/11) * (1/64)
Loss in 60 minute or 1 hr = (16/11) * (1/64) * 60,
Loss in a day or 24 hours = (16/11) * (1/64) * 60 * 24 = 32 8/11 min.
Loss in 64 minutes= (65 5/11- 64)= 16/11
Loss in 1 minute= (16/11) * (1/64)
Loss in 60 minute or 1 hr = (16/11) * (1/64) * 60,
Loss in a day or 24 hours = (16/11) * (1/64) * 60 * 24 = 32 8/11 min.

@Krishna
64 * 11= 704.
720 - 704/11 = 16/11.
64 * 11= 704.
720 - 704/11 = 16/11.

How could you all get 720/11 - 64 = 16/11? Please explain.

It actually does not cover 55 min space in 1 hr it covers 56.25 min space in 1 hr.

Use this you will get any problem solved from clock M * 6° ~ (h + m/60) * 30°= Angle.

Very simple question.
A clock coincides 11 times in 12 hrs (720 min).
So, per meeting =720/11 (65.45).
i.e hands coincide after every 65.45 min.
But according to the question. Hands coincide every 64 min.
So clock losses 1.45 min for every meeting.
And we know that hands coincide 22 times a day.
So. Answer = 22 * 1.45. (I guess this is correct).
