How many times the hour hand and the minute hand coincide in a clock between 10:00 a.m. and 2.00 p.m. (same day)?
3 times
4 times
5 times
6 times
Solution
The hands coincide once between 10 and 11 a.m., once between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. (around 12), and once between 1 and 2 p.m. So between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. the hour and minute hands coincide 3 times.
