A certain clock marks every hour by striking a number of times equal to the hour, and the time required for a stroke is exactly equal to the time interval between strokes. At 6:00 the time lapse between the beginning of the first stroke and the end of the last stroke is 22 seconds. At 12:00, how many seconds elapse between the beginning of the first stroke and the end of the last stroke?

solve it by relative speed.
no of degree covered by hour hand in 1 min = 1/2
no of degree .....by minute hand in 1 min = 6
so, relative speed = 5 1/2 degree
hope it helps..if not tell me
i will provide the complete solution
