Answer

The total angle at the centre of the Ashoka Chakra is 360°.

The Ashoka Chakra has 24 spokes, which divide the centre into 24 equal angles.

Angle between two adjacent spokes = 360∘24\dfrac{360^\circ}{24} = 15°

∴ The degree measure of the angle between two spokes next to each other is 15°.
