If the image time of an analog watch in a mirror is 8:10, what would be the actual time?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 3:50
A mirror swaps left and right, so each hand appears on the other side of the 12–6 line, at the same distance from the 12. The real time and the image time therefore add up to 12:00, and the real time is 11:60 minus the image time (12:00 written as 11 h 60 min).
Real time \(=\) 11:60 − 8:10
Hours: \(11-8=3\); minutes: \(60-10=50\)
Real time \(=\) 3:50
