Question 1133209
<br>
Let's imagine a clock face and call the initial position of X and Y 3 o'clock.<br>
X moves counterclockwise at 1 revolution every 4 seconds, or 90 degrees per second.  So the times that X is at different places are the following:<br>
3 o'clock: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, ...
noon: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, ...
9 o'clock: 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, ...
6 o'clock: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19 ...<br>
Y moves counterclockwise at 1 revolution every 6 seconds, or 90 degrees every 1.5 seconds.  So the times that Y is at different places are the following:<br>
3 o'clock: 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, ...
noon: 1.5, 7.5, 13.5, 19.5, 25.5, ...
9 o'clock: 3, 9, 15, 21, 27, ...
6 o'clock: 4.5, 10.5, 16.5, 22.5, 28.5, ...<br>
Now look at the answer choices.  Answer A has X and Y both at noon at the same time.  Are there any times in the lists above when both X and Y are at noon? No.  So A is not the answer.<br>
Checking the other answer choices in the same way, you should see that answer choice C is the only one that shows possible positions of X and Y at some future time.
