  2. 20
  3. 21
  4. 22

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 22

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: D. 22 šŸ“š Explanation: The hands of a clock (hour and minute) coincide exactly once every hour, except during the 11-1 and 11-12 periods where they overlap only at 12. This results in 11 times in 12 hours. In a full day of 24 hours, the hands will coincide exactly 11 multiplied by 2, which equals '22 times'. This is a fundamental fact of clock-based logic and geometry.
