Question

The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 8:30 is?

• A. 80⁰
• B. 60⁰
• C. 75⁰
• D. 105⁰

Answer 1

The correct option is C 75⁰

To get the angle, $\Theta =30H-\frac{11}{2}M$
can be used, where H is hours and M is minutes
$\Theta =(30\times 8)-(\frac{11}{2}\times 30)={75}^0$
