    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°.
