    Find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when the time is 3:25. 

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

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

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

    D)       \[46{}^\circ \]

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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