The current time is 10 minutes past 3 in the afternoon. What will the be angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of the clock, 4 hours and 30 minutes from now?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

3:10 plus 4 hours 30 minutes gives 7:40.

Minute hand angle =40×6=240°= 40 \times 6 = 240° from 12.

Hour hand angle =7×30+40×0.5=210+20=230°= 7 \times 30 + 40 \times 0.5 = 210 + 20 = 230°.

Required angle =240−230=10°= 240 - 230 = 10°.
