    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,
    Angular distance cover by hour hand in one hours = 36012=30°\frac{360}{12} = 30\degree​​
    Angular distance cover by hour hand in one minute = 3060=0.5°\frac{30}{60}= 0.5\degree​​
    Angular distance cover by minutes hand in one minute = 36060=6°\frac{360}{60} = 6\degree​​
    In one minute, gain total angular distance = 6°0.5°=5.5°6\degree - 0.5\degree = 5.5\degree​​
    Therefore, in 16 minutes, the minute hand gains = 16×5.5°=88°16 \times 5.5\degree = 88\degree​​
