Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 1:20 am?

Options:

70°

90°

80°

60°

Correct Answer:

80°

Explanation:

In this Question, we will be using the formula:

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

= ( 60 × 1 - 11 × 20 ) ÷ 2

= ( 60 -220 ) ÷ 2

= 160 ÷ 2 = 80°

So, smaller angle = 80°
