Question

What type of angle is made by the minute hand and the hour hand of the above clock?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C Reflex angle

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

The angle made by the hour hand and minute hand in the given clock exceeds the angle made by a straight line, but is less than a full circle of ${360}^{\circ }.$

Thus, the angle in this case is a reflex angle.
