At what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 15 minutes past 5?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Angle traced by hour hand in | 21 | hrs = | ![]() |
360 | x | 21 | ![]() |
° | = | 157 | 1 | ° |
4 | 12 | 4 | 2 |
Angle traced by min. hand in 15 min. = | ![]() |
360 | x 15 | ![]() |
° | = 90°. |
60 |
![]() |
![]() |
157 | 1 | ![]() |
° | - 90° = 67 | 1 | ° |

Use the formula.
=(11/2*min-30*hour),
11/2*15-30*5,
165/2-150,
135/2=67.5.
=(11/2*min-30*hour),
11/2*15-30*5,

@ALL.
Multiply it with 6(360/60) and for hrs multiply it by 30 (360/12) here in this problem they said 15 min past 5.
So, 5.15 take 15 min alone and multiply it with 6 gives 90 and then take 5.15 fully convert that 15min into hrs so it 5(1/4) in mixed fraction by converting into proper fraction we have 21/4 then multiply it with 30 gives 157.5 subtract 90 from it gives answer 67.5.

Best way to find the angle between hr and min hand is 30H - 5.5M.

Here We have to find angle between 5:15.
For 5 hours = 5 * 30 = 150,
for 15 min = 15 * 5.5 = 82.5,
Therefore 150 - 82.5 = 67.5.
For 5 hours = 5 * 30 = 150,
for 15 min = 15 * 5.5 = 82.5,
Therefore 150 - 82.5 = 67.5.

They given what angle hands of a clock k 5hrs 15min.
Actually 60min = 30degree.
1min = 1/2degree.
So what is the degree of 15min?
So 15/2 = 7.5.
We add 60min in 7.5 degrees.
Then, the answer is 67.5.
Actually 60min = 30degree.
1min = 1/2degree.
So what is the degree of 15min?
So 15/2 = 7.5.
We add 60min in 7.5 degrees.
Then, the answer is 67.5.

@Neha.
How can you multiply 150 degree in place of 5? By formula its wrong.
Please explain that.

30 * 150 - 11/2 * 15 = 67.5.

Answer is very simple.
Difference between the hour hand and minute hand is 60 deg but for every minute hour hand will move by 1/2deg and for 15 min hour hand is moved by 7.5 deg so total is 60+7.5 = 67.5 deg.
Difference between the hour hand and minute hand is 60 deg but for every minute hour hand will move by 1/2deg and for 15 min hour hand is moved by 7.5 deg so total is 60+7.5 = 67.5 deg.
