5. The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 8.30, is:

A. 80°° B. 75° C. 60° D. 105°

Answer - Option
Explanation -
Angle traced by hour hand in [latex]\frac {17}{2}hrs = (\frac {360}{12} \times \frac {17}{2})° = 255°[/latex]
Angle traced by min. hand in 30 min. = [latex] (\frac {360}{60} \times 30)° = 180°[/latex]
i.e, Required angle = (255 - 180)° = 75°.
