A clock seen through a mirror shows 7 : 45. What is the correct time shown by the clock?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 4:15
When a clock is seen through a mirror, the image is laterally inverted.
Mirror Time Shortcut:
Formula: Actual Time = 11:60 (which is the same as 12:00)− Mirror Image Time
Mirror time = 7 : 45
Actual time = 11 : 60 - 7 : 45
Subtracting the minutes: 60 - 45 = 15 minutes
Subtracting the hours: 11 - 7 = 4 hours
So, the actual time is 4 : 15.
