Between 5 and 6 a lady looked at her watch and mistaking hour hand for the minute hand, she thought that she was 57 minutes earlier than the correct time. When was the correct time? The inhabitants of planet Rahu measure time in hours and minutes which are different from the hours and minutes of our earth. Their day consists of 36 hours with each hour having 120 minutes. The dials of their clocks show 36 hours. What is the angle between the hour hand and the minutes hand of a Rahuian clock when it shows a time of 9:48? [Rahuians measure angles in degrees the way we do on earth. But for them, the angle around a point is 720 degrees instead of 360 degrees. ]
