Correct answer
Explanation
The minute and hour hands meet when the minute hand gains 360° on the hour hand - this takes 12/11 hours (about 65.45 minutes). In 24 hours, this happens 22 times (11 times per 12-hour period). The 22nd meeting is at 12:00 exactly, completing the cycle.
AI explanation
In a 12-hour period the hour and minute hands meet 11 times, so over a full 24-hour day they meet 22 times (they don't meet exactly 24 times because the hands 'catch up' slightly less than once per hour on average).
