Answer 2

Duration of the Conference

The conference started between 10 and 11 in the morning when the minute and hour hands were lying on the same line but pointing in different directions. It ended between 16 and 17 of the same day when the hands coincided. To calculate the duration of the conference, we need to determine the time difference between the starting and ending points.

Let's assume that the conference started exactly at 10:00 AM and ended exactly at 4:00 PM. The duration of the conference would then be 6 hours.

However, it's important to note that the exact duration of the conference cannot be determined without additional information. The given information only provides the relative positions of the hour and minute hands at the start and end of the conference, but it doesn't specify the exact time when the hands aligned or the exact time when the conference started and ended.

Therefore, without more precise information, we can only estimate that the conference lasted approximately 6 hours based on the assumption mentioned above.
