- A16 4/11 min past 9
- B45 min past 9
- C49 1/11 min past 9
- D54 6/11 min past 9
Step-by-Step Solution
The clock shows 9:15. At 9:00 the minute hand is 270° behind the hour hand and gains 5.5° a minute, so they meet 270 ÷ 5.5 = 49 1/11 min past 9, which is after 9:15. (54 6/11 uses 300°, the 10 o'clock gap; 16 4/11 is a right angle.)
Answer: C) 49 1/11 min past 9
