7. Where will be the hand of a clock stop if it starts at:
Question (i)
12 and make \(\frac {1}{4}\) revolution clock-wise.
Solution:
For 1 revolution, the hour hand takes 12 hours.
For \(\frac {1}{4}\) revolution, the hour hand takes \(\frac {1}{4}\) × 12 hours = 3 hours.
If hour hand starts at 12 and make \(\frac {1}{4}\) revolution clockwise it will stop at 3.
