Question:

What is the angle between the Hour hand and Minute hand at 4 : 25?

Options:

20°

$17\frac{1}{2}°$

$19\frac{1}{2}°$

$25\frac{1}{2}°$

Correct Answer:

$17\frac{1}{2}°$

Explanation:

The minute hand of the clock will be at 25°/60° x 360° = 150

The hour hand of the clock will be between 4 and 5 in ratio 25:35.

Angle at 4171°2 AM =120° and angle at 5÷ AM =150°

÷Angle at 4:25× AM => 35 x 120 + 150 x 25 divided by 35 + 25 ×=> 132 1/2°

(( Angle between two hands = 150° - 132 1/2 => 17 1/2° ))

Thus, 17 1/2° is correct.
