Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 4:40 am?

Options:

120°

130°

110°

100°

Correct Answer:

100°

Explanation:

In this Question, we will be using the formula:

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

        = ( 60 × 4 - 11 × 40 ) ÷ 2

        = ( 240 - 440 ) ÷ 2

        = 200 ÷ 2 = 100°

So, smaller angle = 130°
