the gap is 5min so angle made in 5min is the angle between them now we have to calculate angle in 5min so 60 min=360angle 1min=6angle 5min=6*5 5min=30angle ans

NO YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE THE HOUR HAND WILL NOT BE AT 5 IT WILL MOVE THE Third OF THE DISTANSE SO THE ANGLE WILL BE 30+10=40

Always use this formula...this will give the exact angle within seconds....

30h - (11/2)m = req. angle
