Find the angle between the two hands of the clock at 9:16.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
$\text{Angle} = |30(9) - 5.5(16)|$
$= |270 - 88|$
$= |182°|$
