D) 14min
E) 15min
n this type of problems the formuae is   (5*x+ or - t)*12/11   Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time. Here x is 5.   t is spaces apart   Case 1 : (5*x + t) * 12/11   (5*5 + 3) * 12/11   28 * 12/11 = 336/11= min   therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 31 5/11 min past 5.   Case 2 : (5*x - t) * 12/11   (5*5 -3 ) * 12/11   22 *12/11=
