CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Smaller angle =∣30×4−5.5×36∣=∣120−198∣=78∘= |30 \times 4 - 5.5 \times 36| = |120 - 198| = 78^\circ.

  2. The reflex angle is the other side of the dial: 360−78=282∘360 - 78 = 282^\circ.

Worth noting

78° is the smaller angle, not the reflex one. 96° and 264° leave the hour hand on 4 (minute hand at 216∘216^\circ, hour hand at 120∘120^\circ).
