Question

find angle between hour hand and minute hand in a clock at ten past eleven (11:10)​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the minute-hand is at 2 and hour-hand is at 11, angle between them is (3 x 30°) = 90°. But at 10 past eleven, i.e., at 11.10, the hour-hand has moved 10 minutes towards 12.

∴ the angle between the two hands of the clock at ten past eleven= 90° – 5° = 85°.

Answer 2

Answer:

If the minute-hand is at 2 and hour-hand is at 11, angle between them is (3 x 30°) = 90°. But at 10 past eleven, i.e., at 11.10, the hour-hand has moved 10 minutes towards 12. ∴ the angle between the two hands of the clock at ten past eleven= 90° – 5° = 85°.
