What is the smaller angle between both hands at 5:40 am?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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°
