Question:

A clock seen through a mirror shows 7 : 45. What is the correct time shown by the clock?

Options:

4:15

5:17

6:15

6:17

Correct Answer:

4:15

Explanation:

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.
