The reflex angle between the hands of the clock at 9:20 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

At 9:20, hour hand position =9×30+20×0.5=280∘= 9 \times 30 + 20 \times 0.5 = 280^{\circ}. Minute hand position =20×6=120∘= 20 \times 6 = 120^{\circ}.

Angle between hands =∣280−120∣=160∘= |280 - 120| = 160^{\circ}. Since this is less than 180∘180^{\circ}, the reflex angle =360∘−160∘=200∘= 360^{\circ} - 160^{\circ} = 200^{\circ}.
