Answer:
At 9:30, the hour hand is exactly halfway between 9 and 10, and the minute hand is exactly at six.
We know that a circle has 360 degrees, so the angle between each number on a clock has to be 360 divided by 12, which is 30 degrees.
So the angle between 9 and 10 is 30 degrees.

Concept:
Hour hand moves by 30° when 360° angle is swept by minute hand
angle = (30*H) - (11/2 * M )
Given:
It's 9:30 on the clock
Find:
Angle between hour hand and minute hand
Solution:
At 9:30, the hour hand is exactly halfway between 9 and 10, and the minute hand is exactly at six.
angle = (30*H) - (11/2 * M )
here H=9 and M=30
so, angle=30x9-(11/2)x30
=105°
Therefore, the angle between the minute hand and hour hand is 105°
