Step-by-Step Solution

Counting from the top mark, the long hand is on the 10th big mark, i.e. 50 minutes. The short hand is five-sixths of the way from the 2nd mark to the 3rd, so the hour is still 2: 2:50. (3:50 reads the hour from the nearer mark; 2:10 counts the long hand anticlockwise.)
Answer: A) 2:50
