By looking in a mirror, it appears that it is 6:05 on an analog clock. What is the actual time?

5:55

The correct answer is Option (3) → 5:55

Step 1: Mirror image time concept

For an analog clock:

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

Here, Mirror Time = 6:05 → 6 hours 5 minutes.

Step 2: Subtract from 12:00

• 12:00 − 6:05

Subtract minutes first:
0 - 5 → borrow 1 hour → 60 − 5 = 55 minutes
Subtract hours: 11 − 6 = 5 hours

So, Actual Time = 5:55
