3) The minute hand gains 55 min over hour hand in 60 min

To be together the minute hand must gain 60 min over the hour hand.

So,

55 min is gained in 60 min

60 min is gained in 65 ( 5/11) min

But it is given that the minute and hour handmeet after 65 min

So, Gain in 65 min = 65 ( 5/11 ) - 65 = 5/11 min

Gain in 24 hours = 10 ( 10/43 ) min

The watch gains 10 ( 10/43 ) min in 24 hours.

5) The Ship and plane meets at 200 miles.
