6.
At what time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but, not together?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart.
At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.
Minute hand will have to gain only 5 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
| 5 min. spaces are gained in |  |
60 | x 5 |  min |
= 5 | 5 | min. |
| 55 | 11 |
| Required time = 5 |
5 | min. past 7. |
| 11 |

This problem is very simple . . . .
For this problem
in clock 7 ki opposite 1 i.e 5min
hence at 5:[5/11]min past 7 O'clock at that time hands of a clock be in straight line
or
at 60/11 min past 7
the hands of a clock on straight line . . . . .

This type of problem
remember these formula:
(5x+30)12/11 where x<6
(5x-30)12/11 where x>6
In this problem 7 and 8 clock
So here 7 is grater than 6(x>6)
So we use this formula :(5x-30)12/11 where x>6
Here x=7 so :(5x7-30)12/11= 60/11=5+5/11
So the answer is: (5+5/11) minute and 7 past.

How do you know that at 7 the difference is 25min?
@ Nitesh: Assuming I don't have a watch to look at and count the minutes.

In 1 hour the min hand will gain 60 min and the hour hand will gain 5 min (i.e if the time is 5 the hour hand will take 5 min spaces to reach 6) so 60-5= 55
