Question and options
Seen through a mirror, the hands of a clock show 09:30. What is the actual time?
- 02:30
- 03:30
- 06:30
- 06:10
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - 02:30
For a mirror image of a clock, the actual time is found by subtracting the shown time from 11:60. So 11:60 - 9:30 = 2:30. The answer 3:30 is tempting but would appear in a mirror as 8:30, not 9:30.
