The reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 10.25 is:
180°
192 1 °
2
195°
197 1 °
2
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 .
2 2 2

@Vani here 10.25 means 10 + (25/60).

i.e. 10 + (5/12).

i.e. 125/12.

360- hour * 30-minute * 11/2 = 360-10*30-25*11/2 = 360-162.5 = 197.5.

Even I wanted to know why hte reflex angle is calculated as 125/12.

@Rizwan,

Use this formula. You get answer for angle between 6.25.

Sir, at 2:10, what will be the angle between minute and hour hand?

Vikrant shukla said:   1 decade ago
10:25 converted min. and div. 60 that is ((10*60)25)/60 = 125/12.

Why "Angle traced by hour hand" is calculated for 125 /12 hrs ?

Soundarya said:   1 decade ago
Reflex angle is nothing but an angle greater than 180 degrees.

Deepak k swami said:   9 years ago
the maxim angle 180° not possible greater than 180°.

@Hi Anuradha,

Have you got how to calculate reflex angle ?
