The following is closest to the distance that the tip of the hand travels as it moves from 12 to 4 should be considered as the 16 cm.
Since the minute hans on the clock shown below has a length of 7.5 cm
And, the tip of the hand travels as it moves from 12 to 4
So,
For full rotation it should be like [tex]2\pi[/tex] radians
Since angle turned by minute hand in 5 minutes so it should be like [tex]= 2\pi \div 12[/tex] radians
So
[tex]= 7.5 \times 2.094[/tex]
= 15.7 cm
