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°
The minute hand goes once round the dial, 360° in 60 minutes, so it turns through \(360\div60=6^\circ\) every minute.
In 40 minutes: \(40\times6^\circ=240^\circ\)
