    Question

    What is the angle between the minute hand and the hour

    hand at 7:06hrs when taken in anticlockwise direction from the hour hand?
    A 177° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 185° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 152° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 174° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is as follows, Hour hand makes an angle of 30° in one hour and an angle of 0.5° in one minute. Similarly, minute hand makes an angle of 6° in one minute. So, angle made by hour hand at 7:06hrs = (7 X 30 + 0.5 X 06) = 210 + 3 = 213° Similarly, the angle made by minute hand at 7:06hrs = 6 X 6 = 36° So, the angle between the hour and minute hand at 7:06hrs = 213 0 - 36 0 = 177°
