When the minute hand covers a distance of 40 min, then what is the angular distance covered by it?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 240°
DISTANCE COVERED BY MINUTE HAND PER MINUTE
= 360° ÷ 6 MIN
= 6 DEGREE PER MINUTE
THE DISTANCE COVERED BY MINUTE HAND WHEN IT COVERS A DISTANCE OF 40 MIN
1 MIN = 360 / 60
40 MIN = (360 / 60 ) × 40
= 240°
