type 1 angle between the hands of clock Detailed Explanation And More Example

Answer: (d)

Angle traced by hour hand in 35 min after $8 = 35 × 1°/2 = 17.5°$

At 8 : 35, min hand is at 7, and angle between 8 and 7 = 30°

∴ required angle between two hand at 8 : 35 = 30° + 17.5° = 47.5°

Answer: (d)

Angle traced by the minute hand in 2 hrs 20 min,

i.e., 140 min = $(360/60 × 140)^o= 840°$

Answer: (c)

Angle traced by the hour hand in 12 hrs = 360°

Angle traced by the hour hand in 5 hrs 10 min, i.e., $31/6 hrs = (360/12 × 31/6)^o = 155°$ 

Answer: (b)

Angle traced by minute hand per minute = 6°

Therefore angle traced by minute hand in 12 h 20 min = [(2 × 60) + 20] × 6°

= (120 + 20) × 6° = 140 × 6° = 840°

Answer: (c)

∴ Angle traced by hour hand per minute = $(1/2)^o$

&there4 Angle traced by hour hand in 12 h 55 min (i.e., at 0 : 55) = $55 × 1°/2 = 27 1°/2$

&there4 angle traced by minute hand per minute = 6°

Therefore traced by minute hand in 55 min = 55 × 6° = 330°

Therefore required angle = $360° - (330° - 27 1°/2) = 360° + 27 1°/2 - 330°$

$= 387 1°/2 - 330° = 57 1°/2$

Answer: (c)

∴ Angle traced by hour hand per minute = $(1/2)^o$

∴ Angle traced by hour hand in 9 h 30 min

= [(9 × 60) + 30] × $1°/2$ = 570 × $1°/2$ = 285°

∴ angle traced by minute hand per minute = 6°

∴ angle traced by minute hand in 30 min = 30 × 6° = 180°

∴ required angle = (285° - 180°) = 105°
