Question

What is the angle made by the hour and minute hands of the clock given above?

• A. ${180}^{\circ }$
• B. ${150}^{\circ }$
• C. ${120}^{\circ }$
• D. ${110}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

The correct option is B ${150}^{\circ }$

The angle between any two consecutive numbers on the clock is $\frac{360}{12}={30}^{\circ }.$

There are five ${30}^{\circ }$ angles in the given angle as shown below:


$\therefore$ The angle made by the hands of the clock is $5\times {30}^{\circ }={150}^{\circ }.$
