When the minute hand covers a distance of 1 hr 15 min, then what is the angular distance covered by it?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
In one hour, minutes hand covers angular distance = 360°
In one minutes, minutes hand covers angular distance = 360°/60 = 6°
So, in 1 hours 15 minutes, minutes hand covers = 6°(1 x 60 + 15)
= 6° x 75 = 450°
