The dashed frame shows the kitchen clock as it is seen in a steel cupboard door that acts as a mirror. What is the real time?

  • A6:50
  • B5:50
  • C6:10
  • D5:10

Step-by-Step Solution

The image shows 6:10, so the real time is 11:60 - 6:10 = 5:50. Check: the hour hand just after 6 in the image is really just before 6, and the minute hand on 2 is really on 10. (6:50 forgets to borrow; 6:10 reads the image as the clock; 5:10 keeps the minutes.)
Answer: B) 5:50
