Given, at 3 pm

Now at 3.40 pm

In every 5 minutes movement minute hand will make an angle of 30°, thus between 3.30 pm and 3.40 pm it will make an angle of 60° (5 min. + 5 min. = 30° + 30° )

Therefore minute hand is pointing 60° west (9) of the south (6).

Hence, “60° west of south” is the correct answer.
