  • C(c)
  • D(d)

Step-by-Step Solution

The clock shows 2:50. A mirror swaps left and right, so a hand at angle from 12 appears at 360° − : the minute hand moves from the 10 position to the 2 position and the hour hand from just before 3 to just after 9, i.e. the hands of 9:10. That is dial (c). (a) is the water image, (d) the clock turned upside down, (b) a different time.
Answer: C) (c)
