Reasoning

(CLOCK)
 ANGLE OF HANDS OF A
HOUR HAND : CLOCK
12hr = 360°
1hr = 360°= 30°
12
1min = 30 = 1°
60 2

MINUTE HAND :
60min = 360°
1min = 360° = 6°
60
15min = 90°
 Gain time & exact time :
In a clock , when min hand rotates for 60 min then the rotation
gap of hour hand is 5min . So that the
Min hand gains 55min over hand hands
Rotation. That means :

55 min gain in = 60 min

1min gain in = 60 = 12 min
55 11 5
5 min gain in = 12 5 = 5 min
11 11

DESCRIPTIO
N
 Opposites ,coincide and right -angle

There are 11 coincide (except 11:55) in 12 hrs.

So that total 22 coincide in a day.

There are 11 opposites (except 5:55) in 12 hrs

So that total 22 opposites within 24 hrs / in a day.

Then In every hour the clock forms 2 right angle, and in 12

hours it forms 22 right angle (except 2:55 and 8:55)
So that in total 44 right angles in 24 hours.
