Direction of Minute Hand at Clock Time
CMAT 2022 · Logical Reasoning · Easy · Clocks
At 3 O'Clock, if Hour hand points towards West, in which direction will the minute hand point at 7.45 p.m.?
- A.
West
- B.
East
- C.
South
- D.
South East
Answer
B
Explanation
At 3 O'Clock, standard hour hand points East. Here, it points West (a rotation/opposite orientation).
At 7.45 p.m., the minute hand is at 9 (pointing West in standard clock orientation). Since the entire clock orientation is flipped (East West), pointing West in standard orientation means pointing East in this modified orientation.
