Find the angle in radius between the hands of a clock at 7: 20 p. m.

Answer»

We know that the hour hand completes one rotation in 12 hours while the minute hand completes one rotational in 60 minutes.

∴ Angle traced by the hour hand in 7 hours 20 minutes i.e., \(\frac{22}{3}\) Hours

\(= (\frac{360}{12}\times\frac{22}{3})\)° = 220°

Also, the angle traced by the minute hand in 60 minutes = 360°

⇒ The angle traced by the minute hand in 20 minutes = \( (\frac{360}{60}\times20)\)= 120°

Hence, the required angle between two hands = 220° - 120°

= 100°
