Also, apply the formula;
Q = 30H + 1/2M.
Put the value of Hour and minutes.
30 * 10 + 1/2 *5,
= 155.
Q = 30H + 1/2M.
Put the value of Hour and minutes.
30 * 10 + 1/2 *5,
= 155.

Convert the hours into mins so, 12 * 60=720 mins = 360d.
5 * 60+10min = 310 mins =?.
720/60hrs = 12 = 360.
310/60hr = 31/6 = ?
360/12*31/6 = 155.
5 * 60+10min = 310 mins =?.
720/60hrs = 12 = 360.
310/60hr = 31/6 = ?
360/12*31/6 = 155.

5:10 = 5+(10/60) = 5+1/6 = 31/6 hrs.
1 hr = 30 degrees,
31/6 hrs = 31/6 * 30 = 155 degrees.
1 hr = 30 degrees,
31/6 hrs = 31/6 * 30 = 155 degrees.

Angle between hands: 1/2(60H - 11M).
H : Hour.
M: Minutes.
Angle for the Minute hand : 6M.
Angle for the hour hand: 1/2(60H+M).
Reflex angle : 360- Angle.
So for this queestion:
Angle = 1/2(60(5) + (10)).
= 1/2 (310).
= 155.
H : Hour.
M: Minutes.
Angle for the Minute hand : 6M.
Angle for the hour hand: 1/2(60H+M).
Reflex angle : 360- Angle.
So for this queestion:
Angle = 1/2(60(5) + (10)).
= 1/2 (310).
= 155.

In the previous question separate degree was calculated for minute hand. Then why in this question separate degree are not calculated for minute hand?

I'm confused.
1 min is 5.5 degree or 1 min is 6 degree.
1 min is 5.5 degree or 1 min is 6 degree.
