Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 12:10 am?

Options:

120°

130°

140°

150°

Correct Answer:

140°

Explanation:

In this Question, we will be using the formula:

Angle = ( 60 H - 11 M ) ÷ 2 ,

Where H = Hours, M = Minutes

= ( 60 × 12 - 11 × 40 ) ÷ 2

= ( 720 - 440 ) ÷ 2

= 280 ÷ 2 =140 °

So, smaller angle = 140°
