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

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 :).

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.

Answer west is correct as said in question 6 o'clock hr hand shows north direction hence the direction is totally reversed north becomes south so and at 9:15 the min hand will show west. So, given answer is correct.

The answer should be East. Because according to question.

The hour hand is on 6 in North n min. Hand on 12 towards south. So to clock it at 9:15. We move it n now the hour hand is on 9 towards east & min hand on 3 directed towards west. So we are ask for the hour hand so the answer should be east.

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.
