When the minute hand covers a distance of 40 min, then what is the angular distance covered by it?

240°

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°
