Solution

The correct option is A 47.5
We know that between 00:00 and 03:25 hours, time span covered in hours
=3+2560=4112
The angle traced by the hour hand in 12 hrs is 360
Angle traced by it in 4112 hrs
=36012×4112=4104=102.5

Angle traced by the minute hand in 60 min is 360
Angle traced by it in 25 min
=36060×25=150

Hence, the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand
=150102.5=47.5
