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°.

Hi girls ! we can write 4.20 also as 13/3, we covert 20 min into hrs 20/60=1/3 and we add with4 hrs 4+1/3=13/3.
Have a nice day.

Thanks Mr.Prasad for clearing my biggest doubt in this chapter by using that formula. i.e 30*hrs-(11/2)*mins.
That was helpful.

Formula :-
M=2/11(t1*30+-°)
°=Angle.
Solution-
20=2/11(4*30+-°)
10*11=|120+-°|,
110-120=°,
10°= ans.
M=2/11(t1*30+-°)
°=Angle.
Solution-
20=2/11(4*30+-°)
10*11=|120+-°|,
110-120=°,
10°= ans.

Divide into 12 parts each division 30 deg. for hrs. hand for every min it moves by 1/2deg.
20 min = 20*1/2 = 10dg that's it.
20 min = 20*1/2 = 10dg that's it.

12h - 360 degree.
12*60 min --> 360 degree.
1 min -- > 360/12*60.
20 min --> 20*360/(12*60).
-->10 degree.
12*60 min --> 360 degree.
1 min -- > 360/12*60.
20 min --> 20*360/(12*60).
-->10 degree.

Its simple. Just remember for hour hand it covers 0.5 degree in one minute. And minute hand covers 6 degrees.

11/2m-30hr formula is correct for every angle. And another thing ANGLE IN CLOCKWISE DIRECTION IS NEGATIVE.

What do we do if we have a reverse question?
At what time between 3 and 4 clock will there be 36 degree?
At what time between 3 and 4 clock will there be 36 degree?

Just use this formula.
A = 30 * H - 5.5 * M.
Where;
A = angle.
H = hour.
M = minutes.
A = 30 * H - 5.5 * M.
Where;
A = angle.
H = hour.
M = minutes.
