31/6 means the time is 5:10.
5 * 10/60 = 31/6,
1hr-30 minutes then,
31/6 * 30 = 155°
5 * 10/60 = 31/6,
1hr-30 minutes then,
31/6 * 30 = 155°

1hr=30degrees.
Therefore 5hr and 10min=5*30=150=X.
=10min=5degree=Y,
Z=X+Y,
Z=150+5,
Z=155 degree.
Therefore 5hr and 10min=5*30=150=X.
=10min=5degree=Y,
Z=X+Y,
Z=150+5,
Z=155 degree.

Hello everyone.
min=10 past=5 it means,
10 hours 5 min,
so, 10+5/60 = 31/6,
Therefore, hour hand = (360/12 * 31/6) = 155 Ans.
min=10 past=5 it means,
10 hours 5 min,
so, 10+5/60 = 31/6,
Therefore, hour hand = (360/12 * 31/6) = 155 Ans.

Hour hand completed 150 (90+60) upto 5 o'clock.
Now, for more 10 minutes past hour hand will move 5° (30° in 60 minutes multiplied by 10 (i.e. 1/2 degree per minute).
Hence total movement 150+5=155.

5 hours + 10 minutes.
5*30°+ 10*0.5° {Angle made by hour hand in 1 hour =30°, the angle made by hour hand in 1 min=0.5°}
150°+5°
155°.
5*30°+ 10*0.5° {Angle made by hour hand in 1 hour =30°, the angle made by hour hand in 1 min=0.5°}
150°+5°
155°.

(30*hr+11/2*min)-360.
(30*5+11/2*10)-360=155.
(30*5+11/2*10)-360=155.

1 hour it takes 30 degree, 5:10, 5*30=150, 1 miniute =1/2.
10 miniutes =5, total =150=5=150.
10 miniutes =5, total =150=5=150.

Hint : Clock started at noon therefore 10min past of 5 means that the clock time is 4:50
hence, now observe the clock 12(-6),1,2,3,4,5,6,7(-1),8(-2),9(-3),10(-4),11(-5) here - indicates opposite.
So now 4:50 means 4 is hours hand 50 is min hand which is -4.
Therefore 4-4=180(complete cycle). Now answer is (180-(50/2))=155. Why 50/2 means 50 is min covered, we know in 1hr it covers 30 degrees then in 1min it covers 1/2degrees therefore in 50min it covers 50/2 degrees.

Firstly, convert 5hrin minutes.
5*60=300
Add 10 min
=310min.
Now convert 310min in hr.
310min=310/60=31/6hr.
1 hr=(360/12)°.
31/6hr=(360/12)*31/6=155°.
5*60=300
Add 10 min
=310min.
Now convert 310min in hr.
310min=310/60=31/6hr.
1 hr=(360/12)°.
31/6hr=(360/12)*31/6=155°.
