Question

What is the angle in degrees swept by the minute hand of a clock between 9.00 a.m. and 9.35 a.m.?

• A. 300^o
• B. 210^o
• C. 120^o
• D. 75^o

Answer 1

The correct option is B

210^o

The minute hand covers an angle of 360 degrees in one hour i.e. 60 minutes.

So,

angle covered in 1 minute = 6 degrees

angle covered in 35 minutes=35 x 6=210 degrees
