What is the angle between the two hands of a clock when time is 8:30

• ans is:= 75 degree
  explaination;
  hour hand 12hr-360deg
  8hr-?
  (8*360)/12=240deg
  again hour hand 60min-30deg
  30min-?
  (30*30)/60=15deg
  so total hr hand=240+15=255deg
  
  now min hand; 60min-360deg
  30min-?
  (30*360)/60=180deg
  difference will b 255-180=75deg

• angle between hands=|11M-60H|/2
  therefore, |11*30-60*8|/2=75 degree

• Use the formula i.e
  1/2(60h-11m) // h-hour and m-minute
  1/2(60*8-11*30)
  1/2(150)
  75 degree

• for 1 minute the hour hand moves by 1/2 degree
  so when the minute hand moves from 12 to 6 i.e., 30 minutes, the hour hand moves by 15 degrees
  and the degrees between 6 and 7 is = 5 x 6= 30 degrees
  so the diffrence between the hands at 8.30 is 45 degrees
