An accurate clock shows 8 o'clock in the morning. Through how may degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 2 o'clock in the afternoon?

A. 144º
B. 150º
C. 168º
D. 180º

• Answer is 180 degrees
  In one hour, the hour hand rotates 30 degrees
  in 6 hours, the hour hand rotates 180 degrees
  Hence, the answer option is D

• 12hr=360degree
  1hr=30degree
  8:00A.M-2:00P.M=6hr
  so,angle rotation=30*6=180degree

• in complite cycle 360degree
  in on hour 360/12=30 degree then in 8'o clock to 2pm 6hrs
  means total degree=6*30=180
  Option: D

• 8 o clock=8 hrs so as we know 12hrs=360 degree
  so 8hrs=(360/12)*8=240 degree
  and 2 o clock=2 hrs
  so 2hrs=(360/12)*2=60 degree
  final degree difference=240-60=180 degree

• angle traced by 12 hours is 360 degree
  from 8 to 2 its 6 hours so 360/2 = 180 degree

• for one hour the hour hand rotates a degree of 30 hence for 2pm-8am=6hours, the hour hand rotates 180 degree
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• it will be a straight line between 8 o clock and 2 o clock
