Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
At 1:45 the minute hand is at the 9-mark and the hour hand is at degrees from 12, i.e. between 1 and 2.
The angle between them measured clockwise from the hour hand to the minute hand is degrees. Since the minute hand is South, rotate back degrees from South, giving about degrees on the compass, which is North-West.
