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