how many times a day do the minute and hour hands of a clock form a straight line but in opposite direction

For this I am not writing any formula , simply  with the help of table we will try to understand the concept.

the minute and hour hands of a clock form a straight line but in opposite direction
1
Between 12.30 to 12.35
2
Between 1.35 to 1.40
3
Between 2.40 to 2.45
4
Between 3.45 to 3.50
5
Between 4.50 to 4.55
6
Between 5.55 to 6.00  : means at 6.00 clock they are straight but opposite @

Between 6.00 to 6.05 hands are not straight in opposite direction
7
 Between 7.05 to 7.10
8
Between  8.10 to 8.15
9
Between  9.15 to 9.20
10
Between  10.20 to 10.25
11
Between  11.25  to 11.30                  #  goto step 1

@ in 6 th column if we see in 5 to 6 hours and 6.00 to 7.00 hours they will straight but opposite only one time.
By seeing the above table the minute hand and hour hand s of a clock form straight line but in opposite direction in 11 times.

Means in 12 hours or in half day they are straight but in opposite direction 11 times.
since in a day of 24 hours ,hands of a clock are straight but in opposite direction  22 times.

Average of first n even numbers

Even numbers are 2,4,6,8,10,…. Average = sum of elements/ no of elments Now we will see the sum of elements: Sum of first 2 even numbers: 2+4= 6= 2(2+1) Sum of first 3 even numbers: 2+4+6= 12= 3(3+1) Sum of first 4 even  numbers: 2+4+6+8=20= 4(4+1) Sum of first 5 even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10 = 30 = 5(5+1) Sum of first n even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10+. . . . .  n numbers= n(n+1) Now we will see average: Average of first 2 even numbers= (2+4)/2                                                           = 6/2                              ...

product two consecutive odd numbers

Product of two consecutive odd numbers : Even numbers are 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,..... Odd  number means when we divide a number with 2,then the remainder is equal to one. Difference between the two odd numbers is 1. Now we will discuss the product of two odd  numbers. Now the product of two even numbers assumed to be 5x7 can be written as (6-1)x(6+1).                              5x7= (6-1)x(6+1) From the above we write general formula as 5x7= (6-1)x(6+1)=6 2 -1 2  =36-1=35 Now we can observe the result as one less than the square number. So now we can observe the following table. Column 1&2 reprecent the adjacent odd numbers. Column 3 represent the product of two adjacent odd numbers. Column 4 represent  the nearest square number. This  will arrive by adding 1 to the product  of two odd ...
