Question

Find the measure of the angle between the hands of the clock in the following figure.

• A. 30${}^{\circ }$
• B. 35${}^{\circ }$
• C. 20${}^{\circ }$
• D. 15${}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

The correct option is A 30${}^{\circ }$

One complete rotation is ${360}^{\circ }$.
The clock is equally divided into 12 parts.

We require the angle made by one part.
For this, we need to divide ${360}^{\circ }$ into 12 equal parts.

$\therefore$ The angle formed between the hour and the minute hands of the given clock is $\frac{{360}^{\circ }}{12}={30}^{\circ }.$
