Solution
The correct option is C Acute angle
Correct option: A (Acute angle)
An angle that measures less than 90 degrees is called an acute angle.
An angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees is called an obtuse angle.
An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees is called a right angle. And an angle that measures exact 180 degrees is called a straight angle.
Here, if the minute hand is considered at 0 degrees (which is at 12), then the hour hand which is at 10 is less than 90 degrees. Thus, the angle between the hands of the clock is acute.
