Question

Shivam put his wall clock on a table in such a way that at 9



a.M, the hour hand was pointing south. In which direction will the minute hour point at 9:30 p.M?

Answer 1

I think it will point towards north

Answer 2

Answer:

The minute hand will point towards east

Explanation:

360 degrees are divided into 12 equal parts to make a clock. By dividing the 360° total angle of the clock by the number of divisions (12), it is possible to determine the angle between two successive divisions.

The angle between any two consecutive divisions of hour hand = (360°)/12= 30°

The angle between any two consecutive divisions of minute hand = (360°)/60= 6°

At 9:30 pm , the minute hand will make = 6° x 15 =90°

So minute and will be at east direction
