How many degrees does the minute hand cover in the same time in which the seconds hand covers 180°?

Question

Accepted Answer

The second hand completes a full revolution of 360° in 60 seconds. Therefore, it takes:  
$$ 	ext{Time to cover 180°} = \frac{60}{360} 	imes 180 = 30 \, 	ext{seconds} $$

In the same time (30 seconds), the minute hand moves as follows:  
The minute hand covers 6° in one minute (60 seconds). Hence, in 30 seconds, it covers:  
$$ 	ext{Degrees covered by minute hand} = \frac{6}{2} = 3° $$

Thus, the correct answer is **(c) 3**.
