According to the time in Rajni's watch, it is quarter to 6. If the hour hand points towards the south, then in which direction does the minute hand point?

Time Given: Quarter to 6 (i.e., 5:45)
Hour Hand at 5:45: Between 5 and 6
Minute Hand at 5:45: Points at 9

The hour hand at 6 is South (Given).

The clock directions:
12 → North
3 → East
6 → South
9 → West
Since the hour hand at 6 is South, the minute hand at 9 must be West.
Thus, the correct option is (b)  West​​
