45 min. past 9
50 min. past 9

48 2 min. past 9

Answer: Option
Explanation:

To be together between 9 and 10 o'clock, the minute hand has to gain 45 min. spaces.

55 min. spaces gained in 60 min.

45 min. spaces are gained in 60 x 45 min or 49 1 min.
55 11

The hands are together at 49 1 min. past 9.
11

θ angle gained from by hrs clock at the time of meet from the past 9.
θ= [(45+M)/60] *30 30 degree for each hour.
θ = M/5 *30 30 degree Minutes hand move every 5 min.
So, equate them you'll have.
M= 45/11.
So meet time will be 45+M;

Formula :
Θ = |11M/2 - 30H|.
0⁰=|11M/2 - 30*9|.
= 11M/2 - 270.
0⁰+270⁰=11M/2.
270*2/11=M.
540/11=M.
M = 49 1/11.

55 = 60 min.
45 = x.
X= 60*45\55.
X = 540/11.
X = 49 1/11 past 9.

@All.

θ = (11m/2) - 30h is a standard formula.

BTW 9 and 10 the hand of the clock will be together at 9:45(min and hr hand coincides).
Since 55 min gained by min hand in 60 min.
Thus 1 min gained by min hand in 60/55 min.
Now 45 min gained by min hand in 60/55 * 45 = 540/11 min.

How come past 9 minutes? please explain it.

Formula : (11/2)M - 30*H = 0.

We have to find min so put H and get M.

M=min.
H=Hour.
put the value and get the answer in Min.
