Question

The hour hour hand is between nine and ten the minute hand is at three. what time is it
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I will tell you two methods to do this sum

One is direct formula i.e.

Angle between hour hand and minute hand at time h hours and m minutes

= ∣∣30h−112m∣∣  

Here put values h = 3 and m = 10 and you will get answer

Other method

We know that a minute hand covers 360° in 60 minutes which means it covers 6° in one minute

Also we know that an hour hand covers 30° in 60 minutes which means it covers 0.5° in one minute

If we think that it is 12 o' clock and after one minute angle between hour hand and minute hand will be 6° - 0.5°= 5.5°

From here we can conclude that in one minute angle between both hands increases or decreases by 5.5°

Now, at 3:00 time angle between both hands will be 90° and in 10 minutes angle decreases by 10×5.5°=55°. Therefore angle between both hands at 3:10 will be 90°-55°= 35°

By this method you can also derive formula stated in method 1.
