At what time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a clock be at right angles for the first time?

  • A5 min 5/11 min past 4
  • B4 4/11 min past 4
  • C6 6/11 min past 4
  • D5 min past 4
Correct answer: A

Explanation

At 4:00 the hands are 120° apart and the minute hand gains 5.5° per minute, so 120 − 5.5m = 90 gives m = 60/11 = 5 5/11 minutes.
