Discussion
How many times in a day, are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction.
Answer: B
The hands are opposite once in every hour except between 5 and 6 o'clock, where the opposition falls exactly at 6 and is shared with the next hour.
\[ 11 \text{ times in 12 hours} \times 2 = 22 \text{ times in a day} \]
The count matches the 22 coincidences, since the hands are opposite exactly once between successive meetings.
