Question:

A clock seen through the mirror shows quarter to three. What is the correct time shown in the clock ?

Options:

8 : 15

9 : 15

8 : 45

9 : 45

Correct Answer:

9 : 15

Explanation:

Quarter to 3 means 15 minutes left to 3 , i.e. 2:45 (that too observed in a mirror).

So, the object clock will show 15 minutes passed after 9 'o' clock ( because 9 is placed opposite to 3)

So, the time will be : Quarter passed 9 (i.e. 9:15)
