Question:

What is the smaller angle between both hands at 3:12 am?

Options:

26°

22°

24°

25°

Correct Answer:

24°

Explanation:

In  this Question, we will be using the formula:

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

       = ( 60 × 3 - 11 × 12 ) ÷ 2

       = ( 180 - 132 ) ÷ 2

       = 48 ÷ 2

        = 24°

So, smaller angle = 24°
