How much angular distance will be covered by the minute hand of the correct clock in a period of 3 h 25 min?

1080°

1230°

1130°

1180°

✅ Correct Option: 2

The minute hand completes one full circle (360°) in 60 minutes.

Given time period: 3 hours 25 minutes

Converting to minutes:

3 hours = 3 × 60 = 180 minutes

Total time = 180 + 25 = 205 minutes

The minute hand covers 360° in 60 minutes.

Degrees covered per minute:

$\dfrac{360°}{60} = 6°$ per minute

Total angular distance covered in 205 minutes:

Angular distance = 6° × 205

$= 1230°$

Therefore, the answer is option 2: 1230°
