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°.

I think the formula you given (11M-60H)/2 is wrong, It is not coming can you explain it? For example the angle between the two hands at 6:00 it is giving wrong answer.

We can write 4:20 in fractional form 4(20/60).
Means,
(60 *4 + 20)/60.
Equals,
13/3.
Means,
(60 *4 + 20)/60.
Equals,
13/3.

360/12 *4 = 120.
360/60 *20 = 120.
120-120 = 0.
360/60 *20 = 120.
120-120 = 0.

Start at 4 pm. minute hand has to travel 20 min.
We know,
5 min gain by hour hand in 1 hour/60 min.
?? min gain by hour hand in these 20 min.
5/60 * 20 = 5/3 min.
We know 5 min is 30 degree.
5/3 min is 30/3 = 10 degree. Simple.

4:20 = 4 +20/60 = 4+1/3 = 13/3.

It is 4 degree.
Because hour hand moves 30 degree in 1hour.
So it is 1/3 hours passed so it rotates 10 degree.
Total angle of hours hand is 30*4+10 = 130 degree.
Minute hand moves 6 degree in 1 minute = 20*6 = 120 degree.
So 130-120 = 10 degree.
Because hour hand moves 30 degree in 1hour.
So it is 1/3 hours passed so it rotates 10 degree.
Total angle of hours hand is 30*4+10 = 130 degree.
Minute hand moves 6 degree in 1 minute = 20*6 = 120 degree.
So 130-120 = 10 degree.

In the above someone said apply direct formula that is: 11M - 60H/2.
Can this formula be applicable to all problems guys.
Explain please.

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.
