    A clock gains 2 min every hour. Then, the angle traversed by the second hand in one minute is

    A) \[360{}^\circ \]            

    B) \[370{}^\circ \]   

    C) \[390{}^\circ \]                        

    D) \[372{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Sol.      [d] 'Gain in 1 h (60 min) = 2 min \[\therefore \] Gain in 1 min \[=\,\frac{2}{60}\,=\,\frac{1}{30}\]min \[\therefore \]Gain in 1 min =\[=\,\frac{1}{30}\,\times \,60\,=\,2\]sec Now clock gain 2 sec in 1 minute, angle traversed by second hand in 1 min = \[360\,{}^\circ \] Angle traversed by second hand in 1 sec \[=\,\frac{360{}^\circ }{60}\,=\,6{}^\circ \] Now, total seconds covered by second hand in one minute = (60 + 2) sec = 62 sec \[\therefore \]Angle traversed by second hand in 62 sec \[=\,62\,\times \,6{}^\circ \,=\,372{}^\circ \]
