A clock shows 8 : 30. If the minute hand points to West, in what direction will the hour hand points?

A) North               

B) South

C) South-West                   

D) North-West

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

The movements of the man from A to F are as shown In Figure. Clearly, \[DC=AB+~EF\] \[\therefore \] F is in line with A. Also, \[AF=(BC-DE)=5\,m\] So, the man is 5 m away from his initial position.
