Question

The three hands of an accurate 12-hour clock make a total of _?_ complete revolutions around the clock’s face every 24 hours. (A) 72 (B) 733 (C) 1466 (D) 10 104

Answer 1

(C) 1466

Explanation:

The hour hand makes one revolution each 12 hours. So it makes 2 revolutions a day.

The minute hand makes one revolution each hour. So it makes 24 revoulutions a day.

The second hand makes one revolution each minute. So it makes 24*60 = 1440 revolutions a day.

In total:

2 + 24 + 1440 = 1466

The correct answer is C.
