The time in a clock is 20 minute past 2. Find the angle between the hands of the clock. Choose the correct choice from the following options:	A) 60 degrees	B) 120 degrees	C) 45 degrees	D) 50 degrees	E) None of these
Solution:   Time is 2:20. Position of the hands: Hour hand at 2 (nearly).   Minute hand at 4   Angle between 2 and 4 is 60 degrees [(360/12) * (4-2)]   Angle made by the hour hand in 20 minutes is 10 degrees, since it turns through ½ degrees in a minute.   Therefore, angle between the hands is 60 degrees - 10 degrees = 50 degrees   Answer 50 degrees
