Question:

How much angle traced in 1 minute between hour hand and minute hand?

Options:

1°

6°

5\(\frac{1}{2}°\)

6\(\frac{1}{2}°\)

Correct Answer:

5\(\frac{1}{2}°\)

Explanation:

Minute hand Angle traced in 60 min = 360°

Angle traced in 1 min = \(\frac{360°}{60}\) = 6°

Angle traced by hour hand = \(\frac{30}{60}\) =\(\frac{1}{2}°\)

So angle = 6° -\(\frac{1}{2}°\) = 5\(\frac{1}{2}°\)

So correct answer is (c).
