How much an angular distance will be covered by the minute hand of a correct clock in a period of 1 h 45 min?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The minute hand completes one full circle in 60 minutes.

One full circle = 360°

The minute hand moves at a rate of:

360°60 minutes=6°\dfrac{360°}{60 \text{ minutes}} = 6° per minute


Convert 1 hour 45 minutes to minutes:

1 hour=60 minutes1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes}

Total time =60+45=105= 60 + 45 = 105 minutes


Angular distance covered = Rate ×\times Time

Angular distance =6°×105= 6° \times 105

=630°= 630°

Therefore, the minute hand covers an angular distance of 630°.
