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
