Question:

What will be the angle between the hour hand & the minute hand of a clock when time is 5:36 am?

Options:

47°

48°

49°

50°

Correct Answer:

48°

Explanation:

Angle between the hour hand & the minute hand of a clock

= [ 30H - \(\frac{11}{2}\)M ]

= [ 30 × 5 - \(\frac{11}{2}\)×36 ] 

= [ 150 -198 ]

= [- 48 ]       { but angle can't be negative }

= 48º
