Answer : Option D
Explanation :
At 3 o'clock, the minute hand is 15 min. spaces apart from the hour hand.
To be coincident, it must gain 15 min. spaces.
55 min. are gained in 60 min.
15 min. are gained in[\(\frac { 60 } { 55 }\)x15]min=16\( \frac { 4 } { 11 } \)min
The hands are coincident at16\( \frac { 4 } { 11 } \)min. past 3.
