The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4.15 is

Correct Answer: 37.5

Explanation:

Angle between hands of a clock


 


When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at M minutes past H 'o clock


 


=>  30 H - M 5 + M 2  degrees


 


Here H = 4, M = 15 and the minute hand is behind the hour hand.


 


Hence the angle


 


 = 30[4-(15/5)]+15/2 = 30(1)+7.5 = 37.5 degrees
