In one day, how many times do the minute hand and the second hand of a clock make a straight line?

Solution:

Given the time of one day

In every minute , minute and second hands make a straight line two time once they overlap ( making zero degree angle ) and front of each other ( making 180 degree angle )

In 1 minute, min and sec hand make a straight line = 2 time (align, opposition) In 1 hour , min and sec hand make a straight line = 2 x 59 times

In 1 hour, min and sec hand make a straight line = 118 times

In 6 hour, min and second hand make a straight line = 6 × 118 = 708

In 1 day (24 hours), min and sec hand make a straight line = 24 × 118 times.

Hence, In 1 day, min and sec hand make a straight line = 2832 times

In one day, how many times do the minute hand and the second hand of a clock make a straight line?

Summary:

In one day, 2832 times the minute hand and the second hand of a clock make a straight line.
