Strike is the way that the noise made on the hour it’s described. Each hour corresponds to a specific strike, 1 has 1 strike, 2 have 2 strikes, 3 have 3 strikes, and so on.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

1 + 2 +3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 78 strikes for a 12 hours

78 * 2 = 156 (since a day has 24 hours)

So it will strike 156 times per day. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
