Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 9:40 am?

Options:

40°

50°

70°

60°

Correct Answer:

50°

Explanation:

In  this Question, we will be using the formula:

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

       = ( 60 × 9 - 11 × 40 ) ÷ 2

       = ( 540 - 440 ) ÷ 2

       = 100 ÷ 2

        = 50°
