    A)  \[16\frac{4}{11}\] Minutes past 3           

    B)  \[15\frac{5}{61}\] Minutes past 3

    C)  \[15\frac{5}{60}\] Minutes to 2      

    D)  \[16\frac{4}{11}\] Minutes to 4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Since, in one hour, two hands of a clock coincide only once, so, there will be value. Required time \[T=\frac{2}{11}(H\times 30+A{}^\circ )\] minutes past H. Here H = Initial position of hour hand = 3                                                 (Since 3 o? clock) \[A{}^\circ =\] Required angle = \[0{}^\circ \] (Since it coincides) \[T=\frac{2}{11}(3\times 30+0)\] minutes past 3 \[=16\frac{4}{11}\] minutes past 3.
