At what time between 5:30 and 6 will the hands of a clock be at right angles?

At what time between 5:30 and 6 will the hands of a clock be at right angles? Correct Answer $$43\frac{7}{{11}}$$ min. past 5

At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart.
To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) = 40 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
40 min. spaces are gained in
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{{60}}{{55}} \times 40} \right){\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} \min . \cr & = 43\frac{7}{{11}}{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} \min . \cr & \therefore {\text{Required time}} = 43\frac{7}{{11}}{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} \min .\,{\text{past}}\,5 \cr} $$
