The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4.15 is

A 0

B 37.5

C 27

D 15

Correct Answer: Option B

Angle between hands of a clock

When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at M minutes past H 'o clock

= \(30\left(\mathrm H-\frac{\mathrm M}5\right)+\frac{\mathrm M}2\) degrees

Here H = 4, M = 15 and the minute hand is behind the hour hand.

Hence the angle

= 30[4-(15/5)]+15/2 = 30(1)+7.5 = 37.5 degrees
