Question

If we see a clock from the mirror and it shows a time of 5 past 10 minutes, what time is it actually on that clock?
1. 10 past 5 minutes
2. 3 past 50 minutes
3. 5 past 10 minutes
4. 6 past 50 minutes

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 6 past 50 minutes

Given time shown in mirror = 5 past 10 minutes.

To obtain the actual time, we need to subtract the given time from 11:60.

So, actual time = 11:60 - 5:10

= 6:50

= 6 past 50 minutes

Hence, ‘6 past 50 minutes’ is the correct answer.
