  • Ans. 

    The angle between minute and hour hand for a particular time can be calculated using a formula.

    • The formula is: |(30*H) - (11/2)*M| degrees

    • Where H is the hour hand position and M is the minute hand position

    • If the result is greater than 180 degrees, subtract it from 360 degrees to get the acute angle
