IT'S SIMPLE
At first 6 o'clock pointing towards north.
So keep your watch as 6 o'clock and make 6 hour hand as north.
Keep it as same and change the time as 9.15.
Now minute hand points towards west :).

North direction keep 6'clk (6-MH,12-HH).
So south is 12.
West is 3,
East is 9.
Now;
A question asking minutes point.
15mints mean 3.
So 12 to 3 (S to W).
So, the answer is West.

According to me, the answer is east.
Here the question is about the minute hand, not the hour hand.
When the minute hand faces south at 6.00 PM, then at 9.15 it faces towards East.

Actually, 6pm hour hand is pointing 6 but they showing 12.,ie North means opposite to the 6pm in that case 15min. Actually showing (east) but the opposite is the answer. i.e west.

Here all things are reversed. If you don't understand, just reversed your clock and look when it's 9.15 what is the direction of the minute hand. Hope you will get the thing.

East is right. The Hour hand shows north. Minute hand at 12shows south at 9.15 hour hand at 9 i.e west. Opposite minute hand east.

Actually 12 became 6 ,3=9 ,6=12, 9=3.
So, at the time of 9:15 min hand will be on 3=9 and in direction of west.
So, at the time of 9:15 min hand will be on 3=9 and in direction of west.

Both hour and minute hand move 180 degree and both will interchange their position.
