Question

What is the angle between minute and hour hand of a clock at 3hour 20 min?

Answer 1

in one hour the angle changes of minute hand to 360°

so the angle made in one minute = 360/60 = 6°

and hour hand moves 360° in 24 hrs so it moves 360/24 = 15°

the answer is 75° hope it helps☺️

Answer 2

You have a formula to compute the angle between the two hands of a clock in any time.

$Formula :-angle = (30 \times H) - ( \frac{11}{2} \times M ), \:$

where H represents hour hand and M represents minute hand.

In this case H is 3 and M is 20 thus using the formula we get

$Angle = (30 \times 3)- ( \frac{11}{2} \times 20) \\ = > 90 - 110 = > - 20$

In case of clock problems we consider (+) to be clockwise and (-) to be anticlockwise

So, angle will be 20°.
