How they have solve this..pls answer as soon. Look at your watch face. Through how many right angles does the minute-hand moves between 8:00 0' clock and 1 0:30 0'clock? Solution: The time interval between 8:00 0'clock and 10:30 O'clock is 2.5 hours, i.e., two and a half hours. In 1 hour, the minute hand turns by a complete angle, i.e., 3600 or 3600/900 = 4 right angles. Thus, in 2.5 hours, the minute hand will turn by 2.5 4 = 10 right angles.

Dear student,
The time duration or interval between 8:00 O'clock and 10:30 O'clock is 2.5 hours or 2 hours 30 minutes.
Now, in 1 hour, minute hand turns a complete angle i.e. 360°=(4x90°)= 4 right angles
Hence, in 2.5 hours, the minute hand moves=(4x2.5) right angles=10 right angles
I hope it clears your doubt in this regard.
Regards
