D

`3^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As we know that the second hand covers `360^(@)` in 1 minute i.e. in 60 seconds.
So, the second hand covers `180^(@)` in
`" "=60/360^(@) times 180^(@)=30` seconds.
Also, we know that the minute hand covers `6^(@)` in 1 minute i.e. in 60 seconds.
Therefore, the minute hand covers in 30 seconds
`" "=6^(@)/2=3^(@)`.
