Q. At what angle are the hands of a clock inclined at 15 minutes past 4?
At 4 o’ clock, the hour hand is at 120° from the vertical. In 15 minutes, Hour hand = 120 + 15 x (0.5) = 120 + 7.5 = 127.5° (The hour hand moves at 0.5 dpm) Minute hand = 15 x (6) = 90° (The minute hand moves at 6 dpm) Difference or Angle between the hands = 127.5 – 90 = 37.5°
