View full question & answer→We know that, in 60 min, minute hand revolving = 360°
In 1 min, minute hand revolving $=\frac{360^\circ}{60^\circ}$

$\therefore$ In (6:05 AM to 6:40) = 35 min,
Minute hand revolving $=\frac{360^\circ}{60^\circ}\times35=6\times35$
Given that, length of minute hand (r) = 5cm
$\therefore$ Area of sector AOBA with angle $\angle\text{O}$
$=\frac{\pi\text{r}^2}{360^\circ}\times\angle\text{O}$
$=\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{(5)^2}{360^\circ}\times6\times35$
$=\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{5\times5}{360^\circ}\times6\times35$
$=\frac{22\times5\times5\times5}{60^\circ}=\frac{22\times5\times5}{12}$
$=\frac{11\times5\times5}{6}=\frac{275}{6}=45\frac{5}{6}\text{cm}^2 $
Hence, the required area swept by the minute land is $45\frac{5}{6}\text{cm}^2.$
