The image contains a question in Gujarati asking about the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock at 8:00. The provided options are:

- A) 120°
- B) 230°
- C) 180°
- D) 80°

Let's solve this:

At 8:00, the hour hand is at the 8, and the minute hand is at the 12. Each number on the clock represents 30 degrees (since \( 360^\circ / 12 = 30^\circ \)).

- The hour hand at 8 is \( 8 \times 30^\circ = 240^\circ \) from the 12 o'clock position.
- The minute hand at 12 is at 0 degrees.

The difference between the two hands is:
\[
240^\circ - 0^\circ = 240^\circ
\]
However, since the clock is circular, we take the smaller angle, which is:
\[
360^\circ - 240^\circ = 120^\circ
\]

So, the correct answer is **A) 120°**.

Here are 5 related questions:
1. What is the angle between the hands at 3:00?
2. How does the hour hand's position change over time?
3. What is the formula to calculate the angle between the hands of a clock at any given time?
4. How would the answer change if the time was 8:30 instead of 8:00?
5. Can the angle between clock hands ever be more than 180 degrees?

**Tip:** Always subtract the calculated angle from 360° if the angle is more than 180° to find the smaller angle between clock hands.

At 8:00, what is the angle between the hour and minute hands of the clock?
