एका घड्याळामध्ये 4.30 वाजले आहेत. ते घड्याळ अशा पद्धतीने ठेवले आहे की, आता त्या घड्याळातील मिनिटकाटा पूर्व दिशा दाखवितो; तर त्याचा तासकाटा कोणती दिशा दाखवित असेल ?

The correct answer is Option D (ईशान्य).

Key Points:
• The key concept is angular rotation of directions on a clock face.
• Standard alignment of a clock:
• At 4:30, the minute hand points exactly at 6 (Standard direction: South).
• The hour hand points exactly halfway between 4 and 5 (Standard direction: South-East).
• New rotated alignment:
• The problem states the minute hand (6 o'clock position) now points East.
• This means the entire clock is rotated 90° counter-clockwise (South has become East).
• We must apply the exact same 90° counter-clockwise rotation to the hour hand.
• The original South-East direction, when rotated 90° counter-clockwise, becomes North-East.
• The North-East direction is known as 'ईशान्य' in Marathi.
• Key Takeaway: If South becomes East (90° CCW rotation), then South-East simultaneously becomes North-East (ईशान्य).
