How many right angles does the hour hand of a clock move, when it goes from 12 to 3?

Himanshu said:   10 years ago
@Shawisk. The question is absurd. Because even at 1:20, the hr hand will be slightly ahead of 1 while minute hand will be at 4. Therefore making an angle of less than 15. Kindly help.

At 00.15 the minute hand has moved 90′ &the hour hand has also moved 7.5′. Thus they don't make a right angle.

How can it be 22? And more over even at 8 and 2'O clock right angles will occur.

Please give the exact explanation.

One full rotation not considered so 11*2*2 = 44.
