Question

at what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 40 minutes past 2​

Answer 1

Answer:

5:15, means hour hand is on 5 and minute hand is on 3.

Now, 360/12=30.

Angle between any two numbers on the clock is 30 degrees.

Now angle between 3 and 6 is 90 degree.

Angle between 6 and 5 is 30 degree.

Thus 90-30=60;.

Angle between 5 and 3 is approximately 60 degrees.
