Answer
One complete revolution of the hour hand = 12 hours.
1 right angle = of a revolution = = 3 hours.
1 straight angle = of a revolution = = 6 hours.
(i) Starting from 6 and turning through 1 right angle (3 hours, clockwise): 6 → 7 → 8 → 9
∴ The hour hand will stop at 9.
(ii) Starting from 8 and turning through 2 right angles (6 hours, clockwise): 8 → 9 → 10 → 11 → 12 → 1 → 2
∴ The hour hand will stop at 2.
(iii) Starting from 10 and turning through 3 right angles (9 hours, clockwise): 10 → 11 → 12 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7
∴ The hour hand will stop at 7.
(iv) Starting from 7 and turning through 2 straight angles (12 hours, clockwise): This is one complete revolution.
∴ The hour hand will stop at 7 (same position).
