Question and options
The time by my watch is 1:30. If the hour hand points towards the west, in which direction will the minute hand point?
- North-east
- North-west
- South-east
- South-west
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - North-east
At 1:30 the hour hand is midway between 1 and 2 and the minute hand is at 6, 135 degrees clockwise from the hour hand. If the hour hand points west, turning 135 degrees clockwise (west to north to north-east) gives north-east.
