Question

Question

Answer 1

As we know;

From Noon to 10 minutes past 5 = 5 hrs 10 minutes = 310 minutes

Hour hand moves

1 minute → 1/2˚

310 minutes → 155˚

Hence correct answer will be 155˚.

Alternate MethodThe logic follrowed here is:

Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs = 360∘

Angle traced by hour hand in 5 hrs 10 min. i.e.,

31 / 6 hrs = (360 / 12 × 31 / 6)^∘ = 155^∘

Hence, the correct answer is "155°".
