At what angle the hour hand and minute hand of a clock are inclined at 15 minutes past 5?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Time = 15mins past 5
Angle = 0 = (60 x hour - 11 x min.) /2
another angle = (360 - 0)°
=> 0 = (60 x 5 - 11 x 15) /2
=> (300 - 165) /2° => (135/2)°
=> 67.5°
and another angle => (360 - 67.5)° = 292.5°
Thus, $67 \frac{1°}{2}$ is correct.
