Explanation

We are given:

• A clock is placed on a table such that at 6:00 pm, the hour hand points to North-East.
• We need to find the direction the minute hand points at 9:15 pm.

At 6:00 pm, the clock is rotated, and the hour hand is pointing North-East. This means the clock's orientation is shifted by 45 degrees.

At 9:15 pm:

• The minute hand will be at the 3 o'clock position, which is 15 minutes past.
• Since the clock is rotated by 45 degrees, the minute hand will point in the South-East direction (shifted by 45 degrees from the usual position).
