When the minute hand of a clock covers a distance of 1 hr 30 min, then the angular distance covered by it is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Angular distance covered by minute hand in 1 hour i.e. 60 minute = 360º
Angular distance covered by minute hand in 1 minute = \(\frac{360º}{60}\)
= 6º
We know, 1 hour 30 minutes = 90 minutes
Angular distance covered by minute hand in 1 hour 30 minute i.e. 90 minute
= 90 × 6º
= 540º
