Question:

If the image time of an analog watch in a mirror is 8:10, what would be the actual time?

Options:

3:50

4:50

12:50

5:50

Correct Answer:

3:50

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 3:50

When reading the mirror image of a clock, the actual time is calculated as:

$\text{Actual time} = 12:00 - \text{Mirror time}$

Step 1: Mirror time given

  • Mirror time = 8:10

Step 2: Subtract from 12:00

$12:00 - 8:10 = 3:50$
