To find how many times the hands of a clock point toward each other in a day, let’s break it down:
🕰️ In 12 hours:
The hour and minute hands point toward each other (i.e., form a straight line facing each other) exactly 11 times.
Why not 12 times?
Because the first time they align is at 12:00, and then they align again approximately every 1 hour and 5 minutes. So, in 12 hours, they align 11 times.
🕓 In 24 hours:
11 times (in 12 hours) × 2 = 22 times
✅ Final Answer:
The hands of a clock point towards each other 22 times in a day.
