Answer / guest

7.5 degrees

At 3:15 minute hand will be perfactly horizontal pointing
towards 3. Whereas hour hand will be towards 4. Also, hour
hand must have covered 1/4 of angle between 3 and 4.

The angle between two adjacent digits is 360/12 = 30 degrees.

Hence 1/4 of it is 7.5 degrees.

Answer / arun raj

To find the angle bvetween the hands of a clock....
if "H" is the hours and "M" is the mins...then angle can be directly obtained by
ANGLE = 30H - (11/2)M
For example...when da time is 9:30...angle is
30*9 - (11/2)*30 = 270-165=105 degrees..

this sum
A= (30*3)-(5.5*15)=90-82.5=7.5
