Question

What is the angle between the minutes and hours hand shown on the clock?

• A. Acute
• B. Obtuse
• C. Right
• D. Straight

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Obtuse

If the time shown is 6 o'clock then the angle between minutes and hours hand is ${180}^{\circ }$. Likewise, if it is 3 o'clock then the angle is ${90}^{\circ }$.
So at 4 o'clock the angle will be greater than ${90}^{\circ }$^o and less than ${180}^{\circ }$. Hence it is an obtuse angle.
