Question

A clock is so placed that at 12 noon its minute hand points towards north-east. In which direction does its hour hand point at 1:30 pm?

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

Hint:

When solving clock-related problems, visualize the clock's positions and the corresponding directions carefully based on the given scenario.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

At 12 noon, the minute hand points towards north-east, which means the hour hand is pointing directly at 12 o'clock. 
At 1:30 pm, the hour hand will be halfway between 1 and 2 o'clock. This will place the hour hand at a 45-degree angle, which corresponds to the East direction. Hence, the correct answer is (c) East.
