The dial shown is divided into equal-sized segments. At which of the following segments will the arrow be pointing if it is rotated clockwise by 7785 degrees ?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 5


 
­
360/8 = 45 degree for each segment.

7785/45 = 173. The arrow will cover 173 segments.

173/8 = 21 + remainder 5.

So it will make 21 full rotations and 5 segments. 5 segments away from 5 in the clockwise direction is segment 2.
Therefore answer B

answer is Option B
8 segments, each segment is 360/8= 45
7785/45 = 173 ticks
173= 21(8)+5
moving 5 segments clockwise from segment5 ends up at 2nd segment
answer is 2
(I initially did this assuming 7785 ticks and ended up with same answer, I wonder if that makes any difference?)

­You lucked out! Consider if it was one more degree (7786). We'd still land on the same number, but one TICK more would put us on 3.
