• A. 22
• B. 24
• C. 44
• D. 48

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 44

• The hands of a clock coincide 22 times in a day.

• The hands of a clock are opposite each other 22 times in a day.

• The hands of a clock are straight when they are either coinciding or opposite each other.

• Therefore, the hands of a clock are straight 44 times in a day (22+22).
