Angle between two consecutive marks
$=360^{\circ} / 12=30^{\circ}$
Angle traced by hour-hand in 35 minutes
$=\frac{7}{12}\left(30^{\circ}\right)=\left(\frac{35}{2}\right)^{\circ}=\left(17 \frac{1}{2}\right)^{\circ} \frac{1}{3}$
Angle between marks 1 and $7=6 \times 30^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$
Angle between two hands of the clock at thirty five
$ \text { past one }=180^{\circ}-\left(17 \frac{1}{2}\right)^{\circ}=\left(162 \frac{1}{2}\right)^{\circ}$
$=162^{\circ}+\frac{1}{2}=162^{\circ} 30^{\circ} $
