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:

A mirror image of a clock is calculated using:

$\text{Actual Time} = 11:60 - \text{Mirror Time}$

Mirror time = 2:45 (quarter to three)

So,

$11:60 - 2:45 = 9:15$

Therefore, the correct time is: $9:15$
