    Question

    What will be the measurement of the angle made by the

    hour and minute hands of a clock when the time is ‘quarter past 3’?
    A 6(1/2) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7(1/2) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8(1/2) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    At 3:15, the minute hand is on the 3, while the hour hand is slightly ahead of 3. Using the formula Angle = |30H −5.5M|, we get |30(3)−5.5(15)| = |90−82.5| = 7.5, rounded to 8(1/2) .
