• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B


The angle made by the hour and minute hands of the above clock is less than a right angle. Thus, it is not an obtuse angle.


The angle made in the above clock is a right angle.


The above angle is an acute angle as it is less than a right angle.


The angle made in the above clock is greater than a right angle and less than a straight angle.

$\therefore$ The angle made by the hands of the above clock is an obtuse angle.
