Question

A watch reads $4:30,$ if the minute hand points East. In what direction will the hour hand point?

• A. South-East
• B. North-East
• C. North
• D. North-West

Answer 1

The correct option is B North-East

From the diagram, at $4.30$ the hour hand is ${45}^{\circ }$ behind the minute hand, so moving ${45}^{\circ }$ anticlockwise from East, we are in north-east direction.

Thus, hour hand points (North East) $NE.$
