The reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 10.25 is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Angle traced by hour hand in | 125 | hrs = |  |
360 | x | 125 |  |
° | = 312 | 1 | ° | . |
| 12 | 12 | 12 | 2 |
| Angle traced by minute hand in 25 min = | |
360 | x 25 | |
° | = 150°. |
| 60 |
 Reflex angle = 360° - |
|
312 | 1 | - 150 | |
° | = 360° - 162 | 1 | ° | = 197 | 1° | . |

The equation to find the angle between the hands is (11/2)*m-30h.
Where m:minutes.
h:hour reading.
Please explain the thing that in case of 3'oclock, that is 3.00.
The angle b/w hands are 90 degree, with the given equation it is got as 120 degree. How is it possible?. please explain how to use the equation properly, and where to use.

The equation for calculating the angle b/w the hands was given as (11/2)m-30h.
For eg: We clearly know that in case of 9.00 am/pm, that the angle is 90 degree, using this formula I got as 60 degree is it correct? please explain me with example.

How to calculate reflex angle?

Hey thanks for everyone who gav the answer and who raised the questions. From you all I understood how to calculate angle between 2 hands and to calculate reflex angle.
Angle between 2 hands = 30(h) - (11/2)*m.
Reflex angle = 360 - angle between 2 hands.
(if angle between 2 hands is < 180).
Thanks to everyone.

Thanks to everyone.

Follow this:
Min hand 1 min movement swipes 6 deg.
Min hand 1 min movement = hour hand 0.5 deg.
Min hand 1 min movement swipes 6 deg.
Min hand 1 min movement = hour hand 0.5 deg.

|30h-(11/2)m| ----> Formula to find angle between 2 hands.
|30*10-(11/2)25|
|300-275/2|
|(600-275)/2|
|325/2|
162.5 degrees.
Reflex angle is 360 - 162.5 = 197.5.
|30*10-(11/2)25|
|300-275/2|
|(600-275)/2|
|325/2|
162.5 degrees.
Reflex angle is 360 - 162.5 = 197.5.

Finding the angle= (11/2) M - (30) H.
M is the minutes.
H is the hours.
10:25.
(11/2) 25 - 30*10.
M is the minutes.
H is the hours.
10:25.
(11/2) 25 - 30*10.

@Vani here 10.25 means 10 + (25/60).
i.e. 10 + (5/12).
i.e. 125/12.
i.e. 10 + (5/12).
i.e. 125/12.

10:25 converted min. and div. 60 that is ((10*60)25)/60 = 125/12.

How is the angle traced by hours hand is 125/12.
