Question

image in a clock where the hour hand makes only one revolution in one day that is 24 hour whereas the minute hand complete one revolution in one hour what is the angle between the two hands at 14:50 hours as per this clock

Answer 1

77.5 degrees.Bec in a 24 hr clock each hr wud be of angle 360/24= 15 degrees. So first we take the angle between 15hrs and 20 hrs(since minute hand is 50mins which is at 20 hrs... check by drawing a clock) i.e. we calculate the angle for 5 hrs which is 5×15 = 75 degrees. Then we add the angle for 10 mins alone(since 15 hrs-10 mins wud be 14 hrs 50mins). To find angle for 10 mins we divide the degree of each hour by 60 mins and then multiply by 10 mins i.e. 15/60= 0.25 degrees. 0.25×10=2.5 degrees. Adding 2.5 degrees from 75 degrees we gave 77.5 degrees and that's your answer. I know the explanation is quite lengthy.... hope u understand
