    Question

    According to the time by Rohan's watch, it is half past 6 and the watch's hands are pointing to the south. In which of the given directions will the minute-hand point AFTER exactly 24 hours?​​

    A.

    East

    B.

    West

    C.

    North

    D.

    South

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Current Time: 6:30 (half past 6).

    Current Direction: Hands pointing south.

    Solution:

    The minute hand completes one full circle every hour.

    The hour hand completes one full circle every 12 hours.

    After Exactly 24 Hours:

    Time after 24 hours : It will again be 6:30 (half past 6).

    Since 24 hours is exactly one full day, the watch hands will return to the same position.

    If the minute-hand is pointing south at 6:30 today, it will also point south after exactly 24 hours.

    Thus, correct answer is (d) South
