[amp_mcq option1=”South-East” option2=”North-East” option3=”South-West” option4=”North-West” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is (a) South-East.<\/p>\n

At 4 o’clock, the hour hand is pointing between 3 and 4, which is $\\frac{1}{4}$ of the way around the clock. The minute hand is pointing to 12, which is $\\frac{12}{60}$ of the way around the clock. The ratio of the hour hand’s position to the minute hand’s position is $\\frac{1}{4}:\\frac{12}{60} = \\frac{1}{15}$. This means that the hour hand is $\\frac{1}{15}$ of the way between 3 and 4, which is $\\frac{1}{15} \\times 90^\\circ = 6^\\circ$. Since the hour hand is pointing between 3 and 4, which are on the east side of the clock, the hour hand is pointing $\\boxed{\\text{South-East}}$.<\/p>\n

Option (b) is incorrect because the hour hand is not pointing to the north-east. Option (c) is incorrect because the hour hand is not pointing to the south-west. Option (d) is incorrect because the hour hand is not pointing to the north-west.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
