Question

The angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at 19:30 hours is:
1. 65°
2. 45°
3. 75°
4. 55°

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 45°

We use the formula:

Angle: |(11/2) M - 30 H|

Where, M = minutes and H = hours

Here, M = 30 and H = 7 (as 1930 hours = 7:30 pm)

Therefore, we get angle = |(11/2) M - 30 H| = |(11/2) x 30 - 30 x 7| = |165 - 210| = |-45|.

Hence, the correct answer is "45⁰".
