Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 2:40 am?

Options:

140°

200°

180°

160°

Correct Answer:

160°

Explanation:

In this Question, we will be using the formula:

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

        = ( 60 × 2 - 11 × 40 ) ÷ 2

        = ( 120 - 440 ) ÷ 2

        = 320 ÷ 2 = 160°

So, smaller angle = 160°
