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

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

    B)           \[37{{\frac{1}{2}}^{\text{o}}}\]

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

    D)           \[{{46}^{\text{o}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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