Question:

How much an angular distance will be covered by the minute hand of a correct clock in a period of 1 h 45 min?

Options:

850°

345°

270°

630°

Correct Answer:

630°

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 630°

The minute hand moves:

  • 360° in 60 minutes
  • 6° per minute

Given time = 1 hour 45 minutes = 105 minutes

$\text{Angular distance} = 105 \times 6 = 630^\circ$
