A clock shows 3:00. What is the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand?
Correct answer: C. 90 degrees
- A. 45 degrees
- B. 60 degrees
- C. 90 degrees
- D. 120 degrees
Explanation
Each hour mark is 30 degrees apart, since 360 divided by 12 is 30, and at three o'clock the hands are three marks apart, giving 90 degrees. The general formula is the absolute value of 30H minus 5.5M. At 3:00 that gives 90 minus 0, confirming the answer.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
