Question

damini placed his watch on table in such a way that at 6 pm the hour hand points to the south. In which direction the minute hand will point at 9 pm

Answer 1

Given,

Damini placed her watch on the table in such a way that at 6 pm the hour hand points to the south.

To find,

The direction pointed by the minute hand at 9 pm.

Solution,

At 6 pm, the hour hand comes at the marking of 6 and the minute hand comes at the marking of 12. In this situation, there's an angle of 180° between the minute hand and the hour hand.

Now, at 6 pm the hour hand points to the south.

And, we know that the angle between the north and south direction is 180°.

This implies, at 6 pm the minute hand points to the north direction.

Or, whenever the minute hand reaches the 12 marking it will point to the north direction.

Similarly,

At 9 pm the minute hand also reaches the same 12 marking of the clock. So, it will again point to the north direction.

Hence, at 9 pm the minute hand will point towards the north direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

The minute hand will face North direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

We have,

• Hour hand is facing South at 6 pm. This means the position of digit 6 is in South direction.

• Now, we need to find the direction of minute hand at 9 pm.
• So, at 9 pm, the minute hand will face at the digit 12.
• As we know, that 6 and 12 are in opposite direction to each other.
• So, the minute hand will face opposite of south, which is North direction.

Hence, the minute hand will face North direction.
