An accurate clock shows the time as 3:00. After that, the hour hand has moved 135°, the time would be:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 7:30
The hour hand goes round the 12 hours (360°) once in 12 hours, so it turns 30° in every hour.
Time taken to turn 135°: \(\displaystyle\frac{135}{30}=4.5\) hours, that is, 4 hours 30 minutes
Time shown: 3:00 + 4 h 30 min \(=\) 7:30
