An accurate clock shows 10 o'clock in the morning. Through how many degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 4 o'clock in the afternoon? Correct Answer 180°

We know that angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs = 360°

From 10 to 4, there are 6 hours.

Angle traced by the hour hand in 6 hours = 6 × 360/12 = 180°.

Hence, the hour hand will rotate 180°.
