Find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when 3.25.
47*1/2°
48*1/2°
49*1/2°
50*1/2°
Correct Answer :
A. 47*1/2°
angle traced by the hour hand in 12 hours = 360°
Angle traced by it in three hours 25 min = 41/12 hrs=(360*41/12*12)° =102*1/2°
angle traced by minute hand in 60 min. = 360°.
Angle traced by it in 25 min. = (360 X 25 )/60= 150°
Required angle = 1500 – 102*1/2°= 47*1/2°
