Each option: 1 Mark
When the hour hand completes one complete revolution it completes 360 degrees.
a) When the hour hand moves from 3 to 6 it covers 90 degrees. When it moves from 6 to 8 it covers 60 degrees. So, the angle covered when hour hand moves from 3 to 8 is 150 degrees.
Fraction that it has moved = 150360 = 512
b) When the hour hand of the clock moves from 3 to 9 it moves through two right angles.
So the angle it covers when it moves from 3 to 9 = 180 ∘
Fraction that it has moved = 180360 = 12
