Question

Where will the hand of a clock stop if it starts at 5 and makes ¼ of a revolution clockwise?

• A. 7
• B. 10
• C. 9
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is D 8

In a complete revolution, the hand of a clock moves 12 hours, which is ${360}^0$.
One revolution = 12 hours = ${360}^0$
½ revolution = 6 hours = ${180}^0$
¼ revolution = 3 hours = ${90}^0$
If the hand of a clock starts at 5 and makes ¼ revolution, the angle swiped by it is ${90}^0$.It would stop after 3 hours, that is, 8 o’clock.
