Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 5:40 am?

Options:

45°

70°

90°

60°

Correct Answer:

70°

Explanation:

In this Question, we will be using formula:

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

= ( 60 × 5 - 11 × 40 ) ÷ 2

= ( 300 - 440 ) ÷ 2

= - 140 ÷ 2

= - 70°

So, Smaller angle = 70°

Larger angle = 360 - 70 = 290°
