    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    At 6'o clock the minute hand is 30 min spaces apart from the hour hand
    To coincide each other, it must gain 30 min. spaces 55 min are gained in 60 min
    30 min are gained in (60/55) × 30 = 360/11 = 32(8/11) min space 
    The hands are together at 32(8/11) min. past 6
