Step-by-Step Solution

11:60 - 12:20 would be negative, so use 23:60 - 12:20 = 11:40. Check with the hands: the minute hand on 4 appears on 8 (40 minutes) and the hour hand just past 12 appears just before 12, which is 11-something: 11:40. (12:40 keeps the hour; 11:20 keeps the minutes; 1:40 reads the hour the wrong way.)
Answer: D) 11:40
