Detailed Solution

In one hour, the minute hand rotates through an angle of 3600, i.e. the tip of the minutes hand moves along the circumference of a circle and returns to the same point where it started. so displacement of the tip of the minute hand is zero. Since average velocity = Displacement/Time interval, average velocity is also zero.
