Question:

How far will the tip of a 2cm-long minute hand of a clock move in 45 minutes?

Options:

π cm

3π cm

4π cm

2π cm

Correct Answer:

3π cm

Explanation:

Angle traced by the tip in 60 minutes = 2\(\Pi \)

In 45 minutes = 2\(\Pi \)/60 x 45 = 3\(\Pi \)/2

L = r x \(\theta \)

L = 2 x 3\(\Pi \)/2 = 3\(\Pi \)
