Find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when the time is 3.25
Choose the correct answer
A) 47.5 B) 47.9 C) 47.6 D) 47.2 E) 47.1
Explanation:   At 3 O'clock, Minute hand is at 12 while the Hour hand is at 3. Again the minute hand has to sweep through ( 30 x 5 ) ie 150° for reaching the figure 5 to show 25 mins.   Simultaneously the Hour hand will also rotate for 25 mins. Thus starting from the mark, 3 the hour hand will cover an angle = (25 x 30) / 60 = 12.5°   Hence, 47.5ngle between Hour and the Minute hand = ( 60 - 12.5 )=
