If the minute hand of a clock points towards the South at 12:00 a.m., then in which direction will the minute hand point at 3:00 a.m. in the same clock?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
At any exact hour (e.g., 12:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., etc.), the minute hand is always positioned at 12.
• At 12:00 a.m., the minute hand points towards South (at the 12-mark).
• At 3:00 a.m., the minute hand is still at the 12-mark.
Therefore, at 3:00 a.m., the minute hand will also point towards the South.
Correct Answer: (A) South
