Answer / vignesh1988i

wat i assumeis that , only at 11.20 pm the minute hand is
gaining 45%... but it is asked finally wat's the %... here i
think finally is the time at 00.00am.. correctly at 12... so
1 hour =60min
for 11 hours : 60*11=660min
remaining is 20 min... so 660+20=680min... after travelling
680min only the minute hand gaining 45%...
still 40 minutes is there.. for 680 it is 45% means , what
will be the percentage gain in total for 40...

((680/(45/100)))=(20/(x/100))
x=2.08..

adding that will 45% , we will get 47.08%........



thank u
