16.
At what time, in minutes, between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock, both the needles will coincide each other?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
At 3 o'clock, the minute hand is 15 min. spaces apart from the hour hand.
To be coincident, it must gain 15 min. spaces.
55 min. are gained in 60 min.
| 15 min. are gained in |  |
60 | x 15 |  min |
= | 16 | 4 | min. |
| 55 | 11 |
 The hands are coincident at 16 |
4 | min. past 3. |
| 11 |

m= 60/11 * t,
m= 60/11 * 3.
m= 16 4/11.
m= 60/11 * 3.
m= 16 4/11.
