Question

If a clock shows 2:00 o' clock, what is the angle between the hands?

• A. 45°
• B. 90°
• C. 60°
• D. 120°

Hint:

To calculate the angle between clock hands, use the formula: \( \text{Angle} = |(30 \times \text{hour}) - (6 \times \text{minutes})| \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

At 2:00, the hour hand is at 2 and the minute hand is at 12.
The angle between the two hands is calculated by:
Angle = |(30 * hour) - (6 * minutes)|
For 2:00, it becomes |(30 * 2) - (6 * 0)| = 60°.
