The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4.20, is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Angle traced by hour hand in | 13 | hrs = |  |
360 | x | 13 |  |
° | = 130°. |
| 3 | 12 | 3 |
| Angle traced by min. hand in 20 min. = | |
360 | x 20 | |
° | = 120°. |
| 60 |
Required angle = (130 - 120)° = 10°.

It is correct 11/2(20)-30(4) = 110-120 = 10.

This formula does not provide solution for all problems.
Ex. 11:43.
= 60*11 - 11*43/2.
= 187/2 = 93.5.
Which is not appropriate angle.
Ex. 11:43.
= 60*11 - 11*43/2.
= 187/2 = 93.5.
Which is not appropriate angle.

The perfect formula is 1/2|(60H - 11M)|.

In explanation, why 360/12 and 360/60 are taken?

The shortcut formula to find angle b/w two hands.
1/2[60H - 11M] where H is hour, M min.
If result is above 180 then subtract the answer from 360.
1/2[60H - 11M] where H is hour, M min.
If result is above 180 then subtract the answer from 360.
