Question:

Match List-I with List-II

List-I

List-II

(Time)

(Angle between the hour hand and minute hand of a clock)

(A) 2:20 p.m.

(I) 35°

(B) 3:10 p.m.

(II) 70°

(C) 4:30 p.m.

(III) 50°

(D) 5:40 p.m.

(IV) 45°

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

List-I

List-II

(Time)

(Angle between the hour hand and minute hand of a clock)

(A) 2:20 p.m.

(III) 50°

(B) 3:10 p.m.

(I) 35°

(C) 4:30 p.m.

(IV) 45°

(D) 5:40 p.m.

(II) 70°

To calculate the angle between hour and minute hand:

Angle = |(30 × Hour − (11/2) × Minutes)|

(A) 2:20

Angle = |30×2 − (11/2)×20| = |60 − 110| = 50°

(B) 3:10

Angle = |30×3 − (11/2)×10| = |90 − 55| = 35°

(C) 4:30

Angle = |30×4 − (11/2)×30| = |120 − 165| = 45°

(D) 5:40

Angle = |30×5 − (11/2)×40| = |150 − 220| = 70°
