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
Explanation: The hands of the clock are 30 minute intervals apart when they are in the same straight line but not together.At 7:00 p.m., they are 25 minutes apart.Only 5 minutes will be gained by the minute hand.5 min spaces obtained in 60 min. =60/55 x 5 min = 5 5/11 min. required time = 5 5/11 min. past 7.
