Correct choice: B

Explanation:

At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart.

To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) = 40 min. spaces.

55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.

40 min. spaces are gained in		60	x 40	min	=	43	7	min.
		55					11

∴ Required time = 43	7	min. past 5.
