  4. D \(1: 6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(12: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\omega_{\min }=\frac{2 \pi}{60} \frac{\mathrm{rad}}{\min }\)
and \(\omega_{\mathrm{hr}}=\frac{2 \pi}{12 \times 60} \frac{\mathrm{rad}}{\mathrm{min}}\)
\(\begin{aligned}\therefore \frac{\omega_{\min }}{\omega_{\mathrm{hr}}} &=\frac{2 \pi / 60}{2 \pi / 12 \times 60} \\
&=\frac{12}{1}\end{aligned}\)
