Question

How many minutes are there in half of the non-leap year?

• A. $262800$
• B. $21900$
• C. $261800$
• D. $525600$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $262800$

$1$ day $=24$ hours

$1$ hour $=60$ minutes

$\Rightarrow 1$ day $=24\times 60=1440$ minutes

$1$ year $=365$ days

$\Rightarrow 1$ year $=365\times 1440=525600$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}$ year $=\frac{525600}{2}=262800$ minutes

Hence, the answer is $262800$.
