Question

At 5'O clock the angle between two hands in a clock is

• A. ${120}^{\circ }$
• B. ${130}^{\circ }$
• C. ${140}^{\circ }$
• D. ${150}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

The correct option is D ${150}^{\circ }$

A clock has $12$ equal parts$={360}^{\circ }$

$1$ part$=\frac{{360}^{\circ }}{12}={30}^{\circ }$

At $5$O clock the hands will be between $12$ and $5=5$parts

$\therefore 5$ parts$=5\times {30}^{\circ }={150}^{\circ }$
