A) 3:16 7/11 B) 3:16 11/4
C) 3:30 D) 3:16 4/11

Coincide means 00  angle.

This can be calculated using the formulafor time A to B means  [11m/2 - 30 (A)]

Here m gives minutes after A the both hands coincides.

Here A = 3, B = 4

0 =11m/2 –30 × 3
11m = 90 × 2 = 180
m= 180/11 = 16 4/11

So time = 3 : 16 4/11

ASSISTANTAAINSSSTT

STATISTICSACIISSSTTT

Here N and C are not common and same letters can be A, I, S, T. Therefore

 Probability of choosing A =  2C19C1×1C110C1 = 1/45 

 Probability of choosing I = 19C1×2C110C1 = 1/45

Probability of choosing S = 3C19C1×3C110C1 = 1/10

Probability of choosing T = 2C19C1×3C110C1 = 1/15

Hence, Required probability =   145+145+110+115= 1990
