Question

Find the measure of the angle between hour-hand and minute-hand of the clock at twenty minutes past two.?
50°
60°
54°
65°

Answer 1

Answer:

If the minute-hand is at 2 and hour-hand is at 4, angle between them is (2 x 30°) = 60°. But at 20 past two, i.e., at 2 : 20, the hour-hand has moved 20 minutes towards 12. ∴ the angle between the two hands of the clock at twenty past two = 60° – 10° = 50°.
