Clocks Calendar in SNAP 2022 Exam
1. The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4:20, is:
- 0°
- 10°
- 5°
- 20°
2. At 3:40, the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock form an angle of:
- 120°
- 125°
- 130°
- 135°
EXPLANATION
1. Option 2. At 4:20, the minute hand is at 4 i.e. it has covered (360°/12)* 4 =120° (from 12).
The hour hand has covered (360°/12hrs)* (4hrs+20mins)
= (360°/(12*60 mins))*260mins
=130°
Angle between them is difference in angles covered = 130°–120°=10°
Hence the angle between the hands of the clock at 4:20 is 10°.
2. Correct option is 3.
