1.	If the time in a clock is 20 min past 2, then find theangle between the hands of the clock. IFT 20131(a) 45°(c) 60°(b) 50°(d) 120°
Answer» Time is 2:20. Position of the hands: Hour hand at 2 (nearly).Minute hand at 4Angle between 2 and 4 = (360/12) * (4-2) = 60 degrees Since hour hand turns through ½ degrees in a minute.Angle made by the hour hand in 20 minutes is 10 degrees. Therefore, angle between the hands is 60 degrees - 10 degrees = 50 degrees (b) is correct option

Answer»

Time is 2:20. Position of the hands: Hour hand at 2 (nearly).Minute hand at 4Angle between 2 and 4 = (360/12) * (4-2) = 60 degrees

Since hour hand turns through ½ degrees in a minute.Angle made by the hour hand in 20 minutes is 10 degrees.

Therefore, angle between the hands is 60 degrees - 10 degrees = 50 degrees

(b) is correct option
