Q02. Angle of hour hand
Definition
- Each hour = 360 degrees/12
- Angle of hour hand relative to 12 o'clock
- 1 o'clock = 30 degrees
- 2 o'clock = 60 degrees
- 3 o'clock = 90 degrees
- 4 o'clock = 120 degrees
- 5 o'clock = 150 degrees
- 6 o'clock = 180 degrees

Q03. Angle of minute hand
Definition
- Each minute = 360 degrees/60 = 6 degrees
- Angle of minute hand relative to 12 o'clock position
- At 1 minute = 6 degrees
- At 15 minute = 90 degrees
- At 30 minute = 180 degrees
- At 45 minute = 270 degrees

Q04. Angle between two hands
Time of short hand when two hands coincide between 3 and 4 o'clock
- Let hour = x
- Let minute = y
- The time is x + y/60
- Hence angle of short hand = (x + y/60)*30
- Hence angle of minute hand = 6*y
- Since two hands are coincided
- Hence (x + y/60)*30 = 6*y
- Hence y = 30*x/(6 - 0.5)
- Between 3 and 4 o'clock, x = 3
- Hence y =90/5.5 = 16.3636 minutes
- Hence the time is 3 o'clock 16.36 minutes

Q05. Angle of hour hand when hour hand and minute hand coincide
Angle of short hand when two hands coincide between 3 and 4 o'clock
- Let hour = x
- Let minute = y
- The time is x + y/60
- Hence angle of short hand = (x + y/60)*30
- Hence angle of minute hand = 6*y
- Since two hands are coincided
- Hence (x + y/60)*30 = 6*y
- Hence y = 30*x/(6 - 0.5)
- Between 3 and 4 o'clock, x = 3
- Hence y =90/5.5 = 16.3636 miniutes
- Hence the angle is 98.1816 degrees
- Angle of short hand = (3 + 16.3636/60)*30 = 98.18
- Angle of long hand = 16.3636*6 = 98.18
