Answer / kerobotz
After starting at 12am they don't meet back up at 1:05am
they actually meet back up at 1:05 and 27.27 secs. This
extra time adds up over the course of the morning and after
11 hours becomes 5 mins.
Therefore it is 22 times in a day.
The math:
min_hand completely rotates 1/hr
hr_hand completely rotates (1/12)/hr
They unite at time t when t(1-1/12)=1
==> t=1/(1-1/12)
=1/(11/12)
=12/11
==> t is 1.0909 hours

Answer / priyanka chatterjee
correct answer is 22 .
solution:
in 12 hrs,between midnight and noon both the hands meet at
12:00 a.m.
1:05 a.m.
2:10 a.m.
3:16 a.m.
4.22 a.m.
5:27 a.m.
6:33 a.m.
7.38 a.m.
8.43 a.m.
9.48 a.m.
10:54 a.m.
( next 12:00 p.m. and not 11:55)
similarly between noon and midnight it is 11 times, 12:00 a.m. is not considered again as a new day starts then.
11*2=22

Answer / om
for Foxy Z. and Ankit Kumar...
and all others that say - 24.
How on earth is that Possible... Just use sense.
first, It can be 24 only if there is difference of 1 hour
But u guys urself are telling that its 1.05... then how is
that possible.
and for Foxy Z. that says to look at clock-
Tell me Foxy, according to ur table...
at 12.00 am (start of the day) the hands meet
at 11.55 pm (just before end of the day) the hands meet
then according to you, just after 5 minutes from 11.55 pm,
again the hands will meet, coz its 12.00 am start of next day.
How is that possible?
Kerobotz and others who say 22 are right, check their post
for logic.
23 can be the answer if u are including the next day's 12.00 am
