Question

At 4:40, the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock will form an angle of?
1. 120°
2. 240°
3. 100°
4. 80°

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 100°

We can calculate the angle formed by the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at 4:40 by using the following formula:

Angle = l 11M/2 - 30 H l

Where M = minutes and H = hours

Here, M = 40 and H = 4

So, angle = l11 × 40/2 – 30 × 4 l = 220 – 120 = 100

Hence, 100° is the correct answer.
