Select the correct answerJohn put the clock on the table in such a way that at 6 P.M. hour hand points to North. In which direction the minute hand will point at 9:15 P.M?OptionsSouthSouth-EastNorthWest

The answer is South-East.

Here's the step by step explanation:

1. At 6 P.M., the hour hand points to North. This means that the clock is rotated such that 12 is at the North position.

2. At 9:15 P.M., the hour hand would have moved 3 hours and 15 minutes from the 12 position.

3. In a clock, each hour represents 30 degrees (360 degrees divided by 12 hours). So, 3 hours and 15 minutes is equivalent to 97.5 degrees (3.25 hours times 30 degrees per hour).

4. If we start from North (which is 12 on the clock) and move 97.5 degrees clockwise (since the clock hands move in a clockwise direction), we end up in the South-East direction.

5. The minute hand at 15 minutes past the hour points to 3 on the clock. Since the clock is rotated such that 12 is at North, 3 will be at East. But since we've moved 97.5 degrees from North, the minute hand will also have moved the same amount and will therefore point to South-East.
