Question

Find the larger angle between the hour and minute hand of a clock when time is 7:30 AM.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

There are 12 hours in a clock. When the hour hand completes one revolution (to complete one circle) it covers 360 degrees. Therefore to move from 12 o’clock to 1 o’clock it travels 360/12 = ${30}^{\circ }$. So the answer is ${30}^{\circ }$..

Therefore 7 $\times$ 30 = 210. The greater angle formed is ${210}^{\circ }$
