Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 3:24 am?

Options:

45°

42°

32°

40°

Correct Answer:

42°

Explanation:

In this Question, we will be using the formula:

Angle = ( 60 H - 11 M ) ÷ 2 , Where H = Hours, M = Minutes

= ( 60 × 3 - 11 × 24 ) ÷ 2

= ( 180 - 264 ) ÷ 2

= 84 ÷ 2

So, smaller angle = 42°
