An accurate clock shows 8 o’clock in the morning. Through how many degrees will the hour hand turn by the time the clock shows 1 o’clock in the afternoon?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 150°
The hour hand goes once round (360°) in 12 hours, so it turns 30° in each hour.
Time from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. \(=5\) hours (8 to 12 is 4 hours, 12 to 1 is 1 hour)
Turn of the hour hand \(=5\times30^\circ=150^\circ\)
