Solution

The correct option is B East
The positions of the minute and hour hands at 12 noon and 1:30 p.m. are as shown in the diagram.
So comparing with original directions,
original North becomes North-East
original North West becomes North and
original North East becomes East
at 1:30 p.m. the hour hand is pointing in original North East direction, which has now become East Direction.
