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° | . |

Prassaa is correct. First use the formula 30h-(11/2)m. if the answer comes 180 below. I think all of you got the answer is 137.5
Then simply subtract it from 360. Then we get the 197.5 like that.
Otherwise I mean if the answer comes 180+ then that is the answer no need subtract it from 360.

Please explain the concept clearly how to find the exact reflex angle.

To calculate the reflex angle formula is
= 360-(30*H-11/2*M)
Where His hours hand and M is minute hand.
= 360-(30*H-11/2*M)
Where His hours hand and M is minute hand.

Reflex angle is defined as the angle obtained when the angle between hour and minute hand is subtracted from 360 degree.

It is very easy. We can solve it like
10.25 hr=10hr+25 min
=(10+25/60)hr
=10+5/12
=(120+5)/12
=125/12 hr
10.25 hr=10hr+25 min
=(10+25/60)hr
=10+5/12
=(120+5)/12
=125/12 hr

Angle traced in 1 hour=360/12=30 angle
Angle traced in 10 hours=30*10=300 angle
Angle traced in 25min=25/60hour=30*25/60 angle=25/2=12.5 angle=12(1/2)
total Angle traced in 10hour25min=300+12.5 angle =312(1/2)
Angle traced by minute hand in 25 min =(360/60)*25=150 angle
hence 312(1/2)-150=197.5=197(1/2)
Angle traced in 10 hours=30*10=300 angle
Angle traced in 25min=25/60hour=30*25/60 angle=25/2=12.5 angle=12(1/2)
total Angle traced in 10hour25min=300+12.5 angle =312(1/2)
Angle traced by minute hand in 25 min =(360/60)*25=150 angle
hence 312(1/2)-150=197.5=197(1/2)

Simple solution.
At 10 o'clock angle between them = 300
for 25min displacement between them = 25*5.5 = 137.5
so, angle between them = 300-137.5 = 162.5
for reflex angle = 300-162.5 = 197.5
At 10 o'clock angle between them = 300
for 25min displacement between them = 25*5.5 = 137.5
so, angle between them = 300-137.5 = 162.5
for reflex angle = 300-162.5 = 197.5

This is the formula to calculate the angle.
Angle = min*(11/2)-30*hour.
Angle = min*(11/2)-30*hour.

Have a look at my solution once...
Time 10:25
Reflex Time...
11:60
-10:25
~~~~~~~
1:35
formulae to find angle
Angle = 11*(m)
---- - 30(h)

m = minutes
h = hours
so
now
11*35
= ----- - 30* 1

385 - 60
= --------

=167 ---

Correct me if I'm wrong.
