Question

What is the reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 9:35 am?

A 279.5° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 280.5° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 282.5° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 284.5° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Angle traced by the hour hand in 115/12 hours = (360/12 * 115/12) = 287.5° Angle traced by the minute hand in 35 min = (360/60 * 35) = 210° ∴ The reflex angle between the hands = 360 - (287.5 - 210) = 282.5°
