A clock showing 6 o'clock takes 30 secs to strike 6 times.How long will it take to strike 12 at..

Answer / Amitabh Singh

The clock strikes twice for every hour (once on the hour and once before the hour ends), so it will take 30 seconds for each hour hand to move from 6 to 12. To get the time, we multiply the number of hours by 30 and add 30 seconds for the initial position. So, the clock will take (11*30) + 30 = 330 secs or 5 minutes and 30 seconds to strike 12 at midnight.
