    Find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when the time is 3.25.                      

    A)  \[{{45}^{o}}\]                                

    B)  \[37\frac{{{1}^{o}}}{2}\]

    C)  \[47\frac{{{1}^{o}}}{2}\]            

    D)  \[{{46}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Angle traced by the hour hand in 12 hours  \[={{360}^{o}}\] Angle traced by it in 3 hrs 25 min. i.e. \[\frac{41}{12}\] hrs \[={{\left( \frac{360}{12}\times \frac{41}{12} \right)}^{o}}=102\frac{{{1}^{o}}}{2}.\] Angle traced by it in 25 min. \[={{\left( \frac{360}{60}\times 25 \right)}^{o}}={{150}^{o}}\]. Required angle\[=\left( {{150}^{o}}\times 102\frac{{{1}^{o}}}{2} \right)=47\frac{{{1}^{o}}}{2}\].
