  1. How much does a watch gain per day, if its hand coincide every 64 min?
    1. 37 min
    2. 328/11 min
    3. 31 min
    4. None of the above
Correct Option: B

If the minute hand of a clock overtakes the hour hand at interval N min of the correct time, then clock losses or gains by
The required result = [(720/11) - N) ] x [(60 x 24)/N) min
Positive for gain and negative for loss Here, N = 64

required time = [(720/11) - 64) ] x [(60 x 24)/64) min
= 328/11 min
