It is 9 O'clock in a watch. If the hour hand points towards the North-East, then the minute hand will point towards the: Option 1: North Option 2: South-east Option 3: South-west Option 4: North-west

Answer: South-east. Solution: At 9 o'clock the hour hand is at the 9 mark and the minute hand at the 12 mark. Moving clockwise from 9 to 12 is a quarter turn, i.e. 90^. So the minute hand lies 90^ clockwise from the hour hand. Rotating North-East by 90^ clockwise gives South-East.
