Question

If we consider the angle made between the hour hand and the minute hand, which of the following make an acute angle?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A

04:30

At 04:30, the angle between the hour and minute hands is less than 90^o.
At 4:00, the angle is more than 90 degrees, hence obtuse angle is formed.
At 6:00, the angle formed is a straight angle as hour and minute hands are pointing to opposite directions.
At 9:00, the angle formed is a right angle.
