Step-by-Step Solution

Turn the picture top-to-bottom. The minute hand, now near 11, returns to 7: 35 minutes. The hour hand, now just past 12, returns to just past halfway between 5 and 6. The real time is 5:35. (12:55 reads the reflected hands as they stand; 6:25 wrongly applies the mirror rule 11:60 − T.)
Answer: B) 5:35
