How many times do the two hands of the clock coincide in a day? Correct Answer 22

The hands of a clock coincide in every 12 hours is 11 times.

The hands of a clock overlap in every 65 minutes.

In 24 hours there are available minutes is: 24 x 60 = 1440 minutes.

1440 / 65 = 22.1538 ≈ 22 times.

Thus, the two hands (hour and minute hand) of the clock coincide in a day is 22 times..

Hence, "22" is the correct answer.
