The angle between hour hand and minute hand at 5 O'clock = 5 x 30° = 150°
Minute hand move in 10 min = 2 x 30° = 60°Correct Option: B
The angle between hour hand and minute hand at 5 O'clock = 5 x 30° = 150°
Minute hand move in 10 min = 2 x 30° = 60°
Hour hand move in 10 min = 30°/6 = 5°
∴ Angle between hour hand and minute hand at 5 h 10 min = 150° - 60° + 5deg; = 95°

Since, angle between two number is 360°/12 = 30°
When the time is 3:25 pm, the minute hand will be at 5 and will have moved 60° from 3 and hour hand would be between 3 and 4 it will move 30° in 60 min and so in 25 min it would have moved 30 x 25/60 = 12.5°Correct Option: D
Since, angle between two number is 360°/12 = 30°
When the time is 3:25 pm, the minute hand will be at 5 and will have moved 60° from 3 and hour hand would be between 3 and 4 it will move 30° in 60 min and so in 25 min it would have moved 30 x 25/60 = 12.5°
So, angle between two hand will be 60 - 12.5 = 47.5°

Time from 7 am on a day to 6 am after 3 days is 95 h.
Now , 23 h 45 min of the clock in question = 24 h of correct clock
i..e., 95/4 h of the clock in question = 24 h of correct clock
∴ 95 h of the clock in question = (24 x 4/95 x 95) h of correct clock = 96 hCorrect Option: C
Time from 7 am on a day to 6 am after 3 days is 95 h.
Now , 23 h 45 min of the clock in question = 24 h of correct clock
i..e., 95/4 h of the clock in question = 24 h of correct clock
∴ 95 h of the clock in question = (24 x 4/95 x 95) h of correct clock = 96 h
So, the correct time is 96 h from 7 am, Monday, ie., 7 am, Friday.
