Question

In 16 minutes, the minute hand gains _______ over the hour hand.

A.

16°

B.

88°

C.

96°

D.

80°

Correct option is B

As we know that- Minute hand covers 360° in 60 minutes
60 minutes = 360°
1 minute = 360/60 = 6°
So, the minute hand gains 5.5° in 1 minute over the hour hand (respective speed of hands).
Minute hand gains = 16 x 5.5° = 88°
Thus, the minute hand gains 88°.
