    Question

    A clock which is accurate shows 08:00 in the morning how many degrees will the hour hand move when it will show 04:00 in the evening?

    A.

    180 degrees

    B.

    240 degrees

    C.

    320 degrees

    D.

    270 degrees

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    • A clock which is accurate shows 08:00 in the morning,
    • When it will show 04:00 in the evening.

    Logic:

    From 08:00 AM to 04:00 PM, the total time elapsed is:
    4 PM−8 AM=8 hours

    The hour hand of a clock moves 30° per hour because:

    360°12 hours=30° per hour\frac{360°}{12 \text{ hours}} = 30° \text{ per hour}

    In 8 hours, the hour hand moves:

    8×30°=240°8 \times 30° = 240°

    So, the hour hand moves 240° between 08:00 AM and 04:00 PM.

    Thus, the correct answer is (b).
