Question

From the given options, at what angle are the hands of a clock inclined at 10 minutes to 2 (Smaller angle)?

• A. 65°
• B. 115°
• C. 120°
• D. 112°

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

At 2 o'clock, the hour hand is at 60 degrees and the minute hand is at 0 degrees.

10 minutes before 2 o'clock, the minute hand is at -60 degrees from its 2 o'clock position.

The hour hand is 5 degrees behind its 2 o'clock position.

The relative position is 60 - (-60) - 5 = 115 degrees.

The correct answer is Option 1: 115°.
