RE: clock strikes once at 1:00, twice at 2:00 & so on....
ans:198 sec
it takes 6 sec to strikes at 5:00
1st strike is negligible we have 4 strikes in 6 sec.
so for 1 strike 6/4 sec 3/2sec(same as in the case of 9oclock)
total strikes in 24 hrs 2*(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11)
2*66
so required time 2*66*3/2
198sec
