Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 12:20 am?

Options:

110°

250°

150°

120°

Correct Answer:

110°

Explanation:

In this Question, we will be using the formula:

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

= ( 60 × 12 - 11 × 20 ) ÷ 2

= ( 720 - 220 ) ÷ 2

= 500 ÷ 2

= 250°

Smaller angle = 360 - 250 = 110°
