Find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when the time is 10.25 hours i.e. 25 minutes past 10 ?
In every hour , hour hand covers $$30^\circ$$.
So, at 10:25 pm , angle covered by hour hand will be ,
$$ \frac{30 \times 125 }{12} = 312.5^\circ$$
In every hour , minute hand will cover $$360^\circ$$
So, at 10:25 pm , angle covered by minute hand will be ,
$$60 \times 25 = 150^\circ$$
angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock = $$312.5^\circ - 150^\circ$$ = $$162\frac{1}{2}°$$
So, the answer would be option c)$$162\frac{1}{2}°$$
