Correct answer (A)

S=r*angle.
Or s/r = angle in radians ...eq 1

S being the linear displacement.
r being the length of the line or radius.

Here Angle = 1 sec.

So, for 360 degrees the eq 1 becomes,
s/r = 2 π in radians.

As in radians 1 sec =2pi/(360*60*60), which gives us 1sec = 1/206265 radians.

And by the relationship in eq 1 above we know that,
s/r = 1/ 206265,
Or s:r = 1: 206265 close to 206300.

So s/r = 1/ 206265,
Or s:r = 1: 206265 close to 206300.

360 deg = 2π.
1 sec = 2π360/60/60.

@Rahul.

It is 2π/(360*60*60).
