Question

If we consider the angle made between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock, then which of the following times make acute angles?

(This question can have more than one correct answer!)

• A. 04 : 30
• B. 01 : 00
• C. 06 : 00
• D. 09 : 00

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

04 : 30

B

01 : 00

An angle that measures between $0^{\circ }$ and ${90}^{\circ }$ is called an acute angle.

At 04 : 30 and 01 : 00 , the angles formed between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock are less than ${90}^{\circ },$ and hence are acute angles.
