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).
