Question

A watch reads 4.30. If the minute hand points East, in what direction will the hour hand point?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C North-East

As per the given figure, 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 and thus hour hand points North-East.
