Explanatory Answer

At both 2.00 pm and 3.00 pm, the minute hand of the clock is at pointing at 12, and during this interval the hour hand moves from 2 to 3.
When the hour hand is at 3, the minute hand should have been pointing at 9 to make a straight line, but we know that the minute hand must have passed before the clock shows 3:00pm. So anything after 2:45 pm cannot be the answer.
Now, at 2:40 the minute hand is at 8, which is directly opposite to 2, which again cannot be the answer as the hour hand moves as 40 minutes pass after 2:00 pm.

So, the answer has to be 2:44 pm


The question is "At what time between 2.00 pm and 3.00 pm ,the two arms of a watch are completely opposite to each other?"

Hence, the answer is, "2:44 pm"
