Whats the angle (in degrees) between the two hands of a clock when the time shown by the clock is 7: 30 p.m.?

OPtion

1) 30
2) 145
3) 155
4) 45
5) 135
6) 60
7) 75
8) 15
9) 42.5
10) None of these

Solution

Angle = (11/2)M – 30H,
where M =30, and H =7

= (11/2)*30 – 30 x 7

= |165 – 210|, taking the mode of the values, we get

= 45 degree
