Solution
The correct option is D Blank
At 4: 30 the minute hand points to 6 and the hour hand is between 4 & 5 which is also between 3 & 6. Now let's place a direction chart beside it with East along minute hand. Turn the paper so that 6 is East, 3 will be North. Hour-hand for 4.30 will point along North East. Be sure to get the other directions correct. Hencet he hour hand points along North East.
