    Explanation:

    If the minute hand wants to meet the hour hand, it can meet only after it travels 60 minutes.
    So,
    In 60 minutes, minute hand gains 55 min.
    In ? minutes it gains 60 minutes

    ∴ ? = 60 x 60 = 65 5 minutes = Minute and hour hand meet after these many minutes
    55 11

    But as per the given condition,
    Hands meet after 62 minutes i.e. earlier

    So the clock gains (65 5 - 62) = 38 minutes
    11 11
    So in 62 minutes clock gains 38 minutes
    11

    In 24 hours clock gains ? minutes

    ? minutes = 38 x (24 x 60 minutes) = 27360 = 80 80 minutes
    11 62 minutes 341 341


    Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
