Explanation

The hour hand and minute hand coincide once every 65 and 5/11 minutes.

In 12 hours they coincide 11 times. 

They do not coincide at 12:00 at both the start and end, because that would count the same time twice.

Explanation

Each handshake involves 2 people.

Formula for handshakes = n_(n-1) / 2

Where n = number of people

Here n = 12

Handshakes = 12 _ (12-1) / 2

Handshakes = 12 * 11 / 2

Handshakes = 132 / 2

Handshakes = 66

Explanation

Let the smallest odd number = n

Consecutive odd numbers differ by 2

So the 10 numbers are: n, n+2, n+4, n+6, n+8, n+10, n+12, n+14, n+16, n+18

Sum = n + (n+2) + (n+4) + ... + (n+18)

Sum = 10_n + (0+2+4+...+18)

Sum = 10_n + 90

Given sum = 260

So 10_n + 90 = 260

10_n = 260 - 90 = 170

n = 170 / 10 = 17
