Solution

The correct option is C 117
To find: Angle between the minute hand and hour hand in a clock when the time is 05:06 hours.
The sittuation can be represented by a diagram as:

Here, the recquired angle =COABOA
For hour hand, 1 Rotation =12 Hours
And for minute hand, 1 Rotation =60 minutes
Time taken to go from 00:00 to 05:06 hours
=5+0660=5110 hours.
Now, angle traced by hour hand in 12 hours =360
Angle traced by hour hand in 51/10 hours =5110×36012=153=AOC
Now, for minute hand, 1 Rotation =60 minutes
Or angle traced by minute hand in 60 minutes =360
Angle traced by minute hand in 06 minutes =36060×06=36=AOB
Angle made by the minute hand and the hour hand when the time is 05:06 hours =AOCAOB
=15336=117
