Question

If the minutes hand and seconds' hand of a clock are 25 minutes apart. What will be the angle formed between them?

• A. 150°
• B. 110°
• C. 120°
• D. 135°

Hint:

Clock angles: Every minute represents 6 degrees. The angle is always the smaller angle between the two hands unless specified otherwise.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To calculate the angle between clock hands: 1. Minute hand moves at 6° per minute (360°/60 minutes) 2. Second hand moves at 6° per second (360°/60 seconds) 3. However, the question mentions 25 minutes apart, which likely refers to the minute markers (not seconds) If they're 25 minutes apart on the clock face: - Each minute represents 6° - 25 minutes × 6° = 150° The smaller angle between them would be 150° (as the larger angle would be 210°). Therefore, the correct answer is (1) 150°.
