If reflected time in a mirror is 3 : 43, then the real time of clock is?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 8 : 17
A mirror turns the dial left to right about the line through 12 and 6, so the time seen in the mirror and the real time always add up to 12:00. The real time is found by taking the mirror time from 11:60 (the same as 12:00).
Minutes: \(60-43=17\)
Hours: \(11-3=8\)
Real time: 8 : 17
Tip: When the mirror shows a time between 12:00 and 1:00, such as 12:20, take it from 23:60 instead: \(23{:}60-12{:}20=11{:}40\).
