At what time between 7 and 8 o’clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but, not together?  Pick:
A) 5 min. past 7  B) 5 2⁄11 min. past 7  C) 5 3⁄11 min. past 7  D) 5 5⁄11 min. past 7  E) None of these
When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart.   At 7 o’clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.   ∴ Minute hand will have to gain only 5 in. spaces.   55 min.spaces are gained in 60 min.   5 min. spaces are gained in (60⁄55 × 5)min. = 5 5⁄11 min.   ∴ Required Time = 5 5⁄11 min. past 7   Answer 5 5⁄11 min. past 7
