The angle were the hands of a clock inclined at 50 minutes past 8 is as follows.
Given,
time - 50 minutes past 8
⇒ 8 : 50
The hour hand moves 360° every 12 hours
8 hours 50 minutes
50 minutes = 50/60 = 0.833 hours
Therefore,
8 hours 50 minutes = 8 hours + 0.833 hours = 8.833 hours
= 8.833 hours × (360° / 12)
= 25°
The minute hand moves 360° each 60 minutes.
50 minutes
= 50/60 × 360°
= 300°
The difference between the 2 hands is = 300° - 25° = 275°
