Question

What is the angle formed between the two hands of a clock at the time $3:00?$

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A Right

First, note that a clock is a circle made of $360$ degrees and that each number represents an angle and the separation between them is $360/12=30$. And at $3:00,$ the minute hand is on the $12$ and the hour hand is on the $3.$

The correct answer is $3\ast 30=90$ degrees.

At $3$ o' clock the angle formed between the two hands of a clock is $rightangled$.

Hence the correct answer is option $A$.
