Question:

When the minutes hand covers a distance of 1h 30min, then what is the angular distance covered by it?

Options:

420°

480°

540°

600°

Correct Answer:

540°

Explanation:

We know that any hand of a watch covers 360o in one revolution.

So, the regular distance covered by a minute hand in one hour is 360o

So, it will cover in one and half hour

If the rotation is 1.5 times then the regular distance in angle also be 1.5 times = 360 × 1.5 = 540o
