Question:

Find the angle between the two hands of the clock at 9:16.

Options:

182°

180°

183°

184°

Correct Answer:

182°

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 182°

Step 1: Formula for angle between hour and minute hands

$\text{Angle} = \Big| 30H - 5.5M \Big|$

Where:

  • H = hour
  • M = minutes

Step 2: Substitute values

  • H = 9
  • M = 16

$\text{Angle} = |30(9) - 5.5(16)|$

$= |270 - 88|$

$= |182°|$
