Question

The time at present is 2:50 a.m. What type of angle is made by minute hand and hour hand on an analog clock?

• A. Acute angle
• B. Obtuse angle
• C. Right angle
• D. Reflex angle

Answer 1

The correct option is D Reflex angle

An angle greater than 180${}^{\circ }$ and less than 360${}^{\circ }$ is called a reflex angle.

It is given that the time in the digital clock is 2:50 a.m.

Let's represent this on an analog clock. We get:
We know that a straight line makes an angle of 180${}^{\circ }$. If we see the angle made between the hour hand and the minute hand, it is more than 180${}^{\circ }$ and less than 360${}^{\circ }$. Thus, the angle is a reflex angle.
