° | = 255°. |
| 2 | 12 | 2 |
| Angle traced by min. hand in 30 min. = | |

8:30.
By formula:
Hr-8, min -30.
angle-(11/2) * min-30*hr.
Angle=(11/2) * 30-30*8=165-240=-75.
By formula:
Hr-8, min -30.
angle-(11/2) * min-30*hr.
Angle=(11/2) * 30-30*8=165-240=-75.

No formula required, just 9 o clock is 45 degree, center of 9 and 7 is 8 simple 75 degree.

How is it possible as 1min = 6 degree?
=> 10 mins= 60 degree.
So, solution is wrong.
=> 10 mins= 60 degree.

If the time is 1.5 then what is the angle between hour hand and minute hand?

we can do by formula also-
30 (H)-11/2(M)
= 30(8)-11/2(30),
= 240-165,
= 75.
30 (H)-11/2(M)
= 30(8)-11/2(30),
= 240-165,
= 75.
