Answer

Correct Answer: 42°

Explanation

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°
