Answer 1

Answer:

In the south-west direction

Answer 2

Answer:

The hour hand will be in South-west direction.

Explanation:

At 7:20 minute hand will point towards 4 and it makes an angle of 4 x 20 = 80 degree from 12. Whereas at 7:20 hour hand will point towards between 7 and 8 and it will make an angle 0f 70 x 30 + 30 x 30/60 = 210 + 15 = 225 degree form 12.

Therefore angle between hour and minute will be 225- 80 = 145 degree. So if minute hand is in south east direction than hour hand will be in south 145 degree west.
