Solution

The correct option is C $30^{\circ}$
The angle at the center of the circle is $360^{\circ}$ .
The clock is divided into 12 equal parts.

We can find the value of the angle between two consecutive numbers by dividing 360 by 12:
$360 \div 12 = 30$

Hence, the value of the angle between two consecutive numbers in a clock is $30^{\circ}$ .
