Step-by-Step Solution

Measure how far each hand has turned clockwise from 12. In each row the third hand has turned as far as the first two together: 3 o'clock plus 3 o'clock gives 6 o'clock; 1 o'clock plus 4 o'clock gives 5 o'clock. In the bottom row 2 o'clock plus 7 o'clock gives 9 o'clock, so the hand points left: (a). (b) takes the difference, (c) points to 8 o'clock and (d) copies the second dial.
