  • C30 min
  • D32 8/11 min

Step-by-Step Solution

In a correct clock the hands meet every 720/11 = 65 5/11 min. Here they meet after only 64 true minutes, so the clock gains 65 5/11 − 64 = 16/11 min every 64 min. In 1440 min: 8/11 min. (1 5/11 min is the gain in one 64-minute stretch.)
Answer: D) 32 8/11 min
