Question

At 5:20 the angle formed between the two hands of a clock is__________angle.

• A. obtuse
• B. right
• C. acute
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

acute

Angles between $0^o$ and ${90}^o$ are acute angles.
Since at the time $5:20$, the hands of the clock form an angle less than ${90}^o$, the angle formed between the two hands is an acute angle.
