The *Ashoka Chakra* in Indian Flag is navy blue in colour, and signifies *Dharma Chakra* or *Wheel of law* made by 3rd century Mauryan Emperor Ashoka. It has 24 spokes (or lines from the centre). What is the degree measure of the angle between two spokes next to each other?

Question

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