Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e.  5π65\pi\over 6.

The minute hand of a clock turns the angle in 60 minutes = 360°

Also, 360° = 2π because π = 180°

So, the angle turn by minute hand in 60 minutes = 2π

The angle turn by minute hand in 25 minutes = (2π/60) × 25 = 5π/6

Therefore, the angle turned by minutes hand in 25 minutes in a clock is 5π/6.
