Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 2:15 am?

Options:

22.5°

20.5°

32.5°

42.5°

Correct Answer:

22.5°

Explanation:

In this Question, we will be using the formula: Angle

= ( 60 H - 11 M ) ÷ 2 ,

Where H = Hours, M = Minutes

= ( 60 × 2- 11 × 15 ) ÷ 2 = ( 120 - 165 ) ÷ 2 = 45 ÷ 2 = 22.5°

So, smaller angle = 22.5°
