Question

In an analog clock, match the time to the corresponding angles formed by the minute and hour hands.

• A. Acute
• B. Obtuse
• C. Reflex

Answer 1

Angle made between minute and hour hands at $2$ O'clock in an analog clock is as depicted in below figure,

As per the figure, angle made is greater than $0^{\circ }$ but less than ${90}^{\circ }$, therefore, the angle is acute.

Similarly, angle made at $5$ O'clock is depicted in below figure,As per the figure angle made between minute and hour hands at $5$ O'clock is greater than ${90}^{\circ }$ but less than ${180}^{\circ }$, therefore, the angle is obtuse.

Similarly, angle made at $8$ O'clock is depicted in below figure,As per the figure angle made between minute and hour hands at $8$ O'clock is greater than ${180}^{\circ }$ but less than ${360}^{\circ }$, therefore, the angle is reflex.
