  1. Question 1

    Q1. A clock is so placed that at 12 noon, its minute hand points toward North-East. In which direction does its hour hand point at 1:30 PM?

    • A) North
    • B) South
    • C) East
    • D) West

    Answer: East

    Explanation: At 12 noon, the minute hand points North-East (45°); at 1:30 PM the hour hand has moved 1.5 × 30° = 45° from the 12 o'clock position plus the initial 45° offset, placing it pointing East.
