Question:
At 6'o a clock ticks 6 times. The time between first and last ticks is 30 seconds.
How long does it tick at 12'o.
Answer:
66 seconds
It is given that the time between first and last ticks at 6'o is 30 seconds.
Total time gaps between first and last ticks at 6'o = 5
(i.e. between 1 & 2, 2 & 3, 3 & 4, 4 & 5 and 5 & 6)
So time gap between two ticks = 30/5 = 6 seconds.
Now, total time gaps between first and last ticks at 12'o = 11
Therefore time taken for 12 ticks = 11 * 6 = 66 seconds (and not 60 seconds)
