- A11:59 a.m.
- B12:12 p.m.
- C12:00 noon
- D11:30 a.m.
Step-by-Step Solution
The clock reads 11:45, so it has advanced 4 h 45 min = 285 min. It runs 57 clock-minutes per true hour, so the true time passed is min = 5 h. True time = 12:00 noon. (11:59 adds 3 min for each CLOCK hour; 11:30 subtracts the loss.)
Answer: C) 12:00 noon
