Find the angle between the hour hand and minute hand when the clock shows 2 p.m.
Ans:
A circular clock consists of 360 degrees. The angle between any two consecutive numbers of a clock is.
36012 = 30∘.
At 2 PM, the minute hand is at 12 and the hour hand is at 2.
Therefore the angle between them = 2 × 30 = 60∘
