Answer:
67.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
You know the long hand would be at number 9 and you also know that from the number 6 to 9 it would be 90°. Between each number, there are also 5 smaller marks on the clock. Thus, for 90°, there would be 5×3=15 smaller marks. (I used 3 because between 6 and 9 there are 3 big numbers)
Now here's the trickier part: There are 60 minutes within 5 small marks. We can find out at which mark does the shorter hand move to at 45 minutes.
×5 = 3.75
Out of the 15 smaller marks of 90°, the 45th minute stands at 3.75. The angle of 3.75 would then be between the 15th mark and the 3.75th mark. The gap would be 15-3.75 = 11.25 marks.
×90° = 67.5°
You can refer to the picture for better visualisation of the clock. Hope this helps.

Answer:
P( top two horses are predicted incorrectly in incorrect order)
=
Step-by-step explanation:
In the horse race the outcome can be predicted in 5! = 120 ways.
Now suppose the top two horses were predicted incorrectly in incorrect order. Now, the top horse can be predicted incorrectly in 4 ways.
Suppose the top horse was predicted to be in k-th position where k = 2, 3 ,4,5
so the second horse can be predicted to be in place from 1 to (k - 1)
So, the top two horses can be predicted incorrectly in incorrect order
in = 10 ways
and for each prediction of the two the remaining horses may be predicted in 3! = 6 ways.
Hence ,
P( top two horses are predicted incorrectly in incorrect order)
=
