Question

An obtuse angle is formed between the hands of a clock at _____.

• A. 12 o' clock
• B. 8 o' clock
• C. 3 o' clock
• D. 6 o' clock

Answer 1

The correct option is B 8 o' clock

The time shown in the given clock is 8 o' clock. The angle between the hour hand and the minute hand is clearly more than ${90}^{\circ }$ and less than ${180}^{\circ }$. Hence it forms an obtuse angle.
