    What is the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock at 02 :15 hours?

    A)  \[\text{15}{}^\circ \]     

    B)                         \[7\frac{{{1}^{o}}}{2}\]

    C)  \[22\frac{{{1}^{o}}}{2}\]              

    D)         \[\text{3}0{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The minute hand moves\[\text{9775}={{\text{5}}^{\text{2}}}\times \text{17}\times \text{23}\]in one minute. \[\text{1173}0=\text{2}\times \text{3}\times \text{5}\times \text{17}\times \text{23}\]It will move\[\therefore \]in 5 minutes (from 2 to 3). Also the hour hand moves\[=\text{17}\times \text{23}=\text{391}\]in one hour. \[=\text{2}\times \text{3}\times {{\text{5}}^{\text{2}}}\times \text{7}\times \text{l7}\times \text{23}=\text{41}0\text{55}0\]It will move\[\pi \]in 15 minutes, i.e., So, the angle between the two hands is\[\frac{22}{7}\].
