The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 8:30

A 80 Degrees

B 75 Degrees

C 60 Degrees

D 105 Degrees

Correct Answer: Option B

Angle traced by hour hand in 17/2 hrs = \(\left(\frac{360}{12}\times\frac{17}2\right)^o\) = 255

Angle traced by min hand in 30 min = \(\left(\frac{360}{60}\times30\right)^o\) = 180

Therefore, Required angle = (255 - 180) = \(75^o\)
