What is least count of a clock if it has hours hand and minute hand?
The least count of a clock with an hour hand and a minute hand is typically one minute. This is because the minute hand moves in increments of one minute, allowing for the most precise measurement of time that can be observed directly on the clock face. While the hour hand indicates hours, its movement is less precise for measuring time intervals compared to the minute hand. Thus, the least count is determined by the finer divisions, which are represented by the minute hand.

What is a minute hand on a clock?
The minute hand is the largest hand on most analogue clocks. At 3 o'clock on a 12-hour clock, the minute hand is pointing straight up to the 12. It measures time to the nearest minute by advancing one of the small minute hash marks every 60 seconds. Every time the second hand makes one full sweep of the clock face, the minute hand advances one of the minute marks. The second hand is the fastest moving hand on a standard analogue clock, making one full sweep every 60 seconds.
How are the minute hand and hour hand the same?
The minute hand and hour hand both move clockwise to mark time and are in the same position at 12 noon or midnight.
