Question
The figure given alongside shows the image of a clock as seen in a plane mirror. The correct time is:
Options
2.25
2.35
6.45
9.25

Solution
9.25
Explanation:
The image shows a mirror reflection displaying 2:35, which means the left and right sides are reversed. To find the actual time, subtract the reflected time from 11:60 (which represents 12:00). Subtracting 2:35 from 11:60 gives 9:25.
