Solution

The correct option is B 4712o
At 3 O'clock, Minute hand is at 12 while the Hour hand is at 3. Again the minute hand has to sweep through 30×5 ie 150 for reaching the figure 5 to show 25 mins.
Simultaneously the Hour hand will also rotate for 25 mins. Thus starting from the mark, 3 the hour hand will cover an angle = 25×3060=12.5
Hence, angle between Hour and the Minute hand = (6012.5)=47.5
