- Step 1: Convert the time from minutes and seconds to only seconds.

- 1 minute 12 seconds = 72 seconds.

- Step 2: Calculate the distance the bucket ascends by multiplying the speed by time.

- Distance = Speed × Time = 1.2 m/s × 72 s = 86.4 meters.

- Step 3: Convert the distance from meters to centimeters because the options are in centimeters.

- 1 meter = 100 centimeters, so 86.4 meters = 8640 centimeters.

- Option 1: 8.64 cm

- Option 2: 86.4 cm

- Option 3: 864 cm

- Option 4: 8640 cm
