    Explanation: Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs. = 360º. Angle traced by it in 11/3 hrs= (360/12*11/3)∘=110∘ Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min. = 360º. Angle traced by it in 40 min. =(360/60*40)°=240° Required angle (240 - 110)º = 130º.

    Explanation:

    Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs. = 360º.

    Angle traced by it in 11/3 hrs= (360/12*11/3)∘=110∘

    Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min. = 360º.

    Angle traced by it in 40 min. =(360/60*40)°=240°

    Required angle (240 – 110)º = 130º.

    Explanation: Since at 4 : 20 the minute hand will be at 4 and the angle between them will be same as the distance covered in degree by the hour hand in 20 minutes. Required angle = distance of hour hand = speed × time = 1/2 × 20 =10 degrees.

    FORMULA A = 30H - (11/2)M In this formula, A is the required angle; H is the initial position of the Hour Hand; M is the minutes. Now, substitute the given values - A = 30 x 4 - (11/2) x 15 A = 120 - 165/2 A = (240 - 165)/2 A = 75/2 A = 37.5 degrees. The angle between the minute hand and the hour haRead more

    FORMULA

    A = 30H – (11/2)M

    In this formula, A is the required angle; H is the initial position of the Hour Hand; M is the minutes. Now, substitute the given values –

    A = 30 x 4 – (11/2) x 15

    A = 120 – 165/2

    A = (240 – 165)/2

    A = 75/2

    A = 37.5 degrees.

    The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4:15 is 37.5 degrees.

    FORMULA Required Angle, A = 30H - (11/2)M Here, H is the initial position of the Hour Hand M is the minutes A = 30 x 4 - (11/2) x 20 A = 120 - 110 A = 10 Hence, the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4 hours 20 minutes is 10 degrees.

    FORMULA

    Required Angle, A = 30H – (11/2)M

    Here,

    H is the initial position of the Hour Hand

    M is the minutes

    A = 30 x 4 – (11/2) x 20

    A = 120 – 110

    A = 10

    Hence, the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4 hours 20 minutes is 10 degrees.

    As the clock ticks 6 times at 6 o'clock in 30 seconds, the number of intervals involved = time taken/times = 30/6 = 5 intervals. If it ticks 6 times at 6 o'clock, then the clock ticks 12 times at 12 o'clock. Then, the number of intervals involved are 11. 5 intervals are covered in 30 seconds. So, 1Read more

    As the clock ticks 6 times at 6 o’clock in 30 seconds, the number of intervals involved = time taken/times = 30/6 = 5 intervals.

    If it ticks 6 times at 6 o’clock, then the clock ticks 12 times at 12 o’clock. Then, the number of intervals involved are 11.

    5 intervals are covered in 30 seconds. So, 1 interval = 30/5 = 6 seconds.

    Hence, 11 intervals = 11 x 6 = 66 seconds.
