Method to Solve :
36hrs a day mane the clk will b of 18hrs.
18hrs covers 360 deg
Thus 1hr covers 20 deg
12 hrs covers 12*20=240 deg
1 hr in 90min
Thus in 90 min the hour hand goes 20 deg
For 1min hr hand goes 2/9deg
For 40 min hour goes (2/9)*40 deg=80/9 deg=9 deg (approx)
thus hr hand covers total of 240+9=249 deg
now min hand covers=40*4=160 deg
(90min=360deg
1min=4deg)
Thus angle between them 249-160 = 89 deg

Finding the Angle between Clock Hands on Planet North
Given data:
- 8 days in a week from Sunday to Saturday
- 1 extra day called Funday on planet North
- 36 hours in a day
- Each hour has 90 minutes
- Each minute has 60 seconds
To find:
- Approximate angle between the hands of a clock on North when the time is 16.50 am
Approach:
- Calculate the total minutes that have passed since 12 o'clock
- Calculate the angle made by each hand with respect to 12 o'clock
- Calculate the difference between the two angles to get the angle between the hands
Calculations:
Total minutes passed since 12 o'clock:
- One day has 36 hours, so 1 hour on planet North = 90/60 = 1.5 hours on Earth
- Therefore, 16.50 am on North = 16 - 12 + 0.5 = 4.5 hours after 12 o'clock on Earth
- 4.5 hours on Earth = 4.5 x 60 = 270 minutes
- Funday is not included in the Earth's calendar, so we ignore it for this question
Angle made by the hour hand:
- In 12 hours, the hour hand moves 360 degrees, so in 1 hour, it moves 30 degrees
- In 60 minutes, the hour hand moves half a degree (30/60 = 0.5)
- At 4:30, the hour hand is exactly on the 4
- Therefore, the angle made by the hour hand = 4 x 30 + 0.5 x 270 = 135 degrees
Angle made by the minute hand:
- In 60 minutes, the minute hand moves 360 degrees, so in 1 minute, it moves 6 degrees
- At 50 minutes, the minute hand is exactly on the 10
- Therefore, the angle made by the minute hand = 6 x 50 = 300 degrees
Angle between the hands:
- The angle between the hands is the absolute difference between the two angles
- Angle between hands = |135 - 300| = 165 degrees
Therefore, the approximate angle between the hands of a clock on North when the time is 16.50 am is 165 degrees, which is option (d).
