1. The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of the clock when the time is 4.20 is:
- A. 0°
- B. 0°
- C. 0°
- D. 0°
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
At 4:20, the minute hand is on the 4, and the hour hand is 20/60 = 1/3 of the way from the 4 to the 5. Since the numbers on the clock are 360/12 = 30 degrees apart, the smallest positive angle between the hands at 4:20 is 30(4 1/3 - 4) = 30(1/3) = 10 degrees.
