    150 minutes = 2.5 hours = 2 and a half rotations

    1 rotation = the perimeter of the circle drawn by the tip of the hour hand = 2*pi*r = 2*(22/7)*8 = 50.28 cms

    so 2.5 rotations = 50.28*2.5 = 125.7 cms

    12 hrs -- 12*60 = 720 mins

    720 mins --- 360degrees

    150min -- 150*360/720 = 75 degrees

    diameter of the arc is: (2)*(22/7)*8*(75/360) = 10.47 cm
