How many times in a day are the hands of a clock in a straight line but opposite in direction?

Correct Answer: A — 22

Explanation:

The correct answer is 22. The hands point in opposite directions 11 times every 12 hours (between 5 and 7 they are opposite only at 6 o'clock). So in 24 hours: 11 Ã— 2 = 22 times.
