  1. Question 1

    Q1. A clock shows 8:00. At what time will the hour and minute hands coincide?

    • A) 8:43
    • B) 8:45
    • C) 9:00
    • D) Never coincide

    Answer: 8:43

    Explanation: The hour hand moves 30 degrees per hour and the minute hand 360 degrees. At 8:00, they are 240 degrees apart. The minute hand needs to cover this gap. The relative speed is 330 degrees per hour. Time taken = 240 / 330 * 60 minutes = 43.63 minutes, approximately 8:43.
