Question:

At what angle the hands of a Clock are inclined at 20 min past 6?

Options:

50°

60°

70°

80°

Correct Answer:

70°

Explanation:

At 6, hour hand is at 180 degrees

Minute hand is at 0 degree

After 20 minutes, hour hand would be at 20 x 6 = 120 degrees from previous position 

Hour hand would be at 0.5 x 20 = 10 degrees from previous position.

Thus relative position at 20 past 6 = 180-120+10

The correct answer is Option (3) → 70°
