K-ग्रहाचे घड्याळ 9:48 ही वेळ दाखवत असेल तर तास व मिनिट काट्यादरम्यानचे अंश दाखवणारी संख्या निवडा. On planet K, a day as a unit consists of 36 hours and each hour is divided into 120 minutes. For persons on this planet the degrees around a point are 720 instead of 360 that are noted on the earth. The dial of their clock shows 36 hours.
