Question 1
A person looks in a mirror and sees that the clock behind them shows 5:25. What is the actual time?
Correct Answer Explanation
To find actual time from mirror image of a clock:
Method: Subtract the mirror-image time from 11:60 (or 12:00).
Mirror shows: 5:25
Actual time = 11:60 − 5:25 = 6:35
Wait — let's verify: If actual time is 6:35, hour hand is between 6 and 7 (near 6), minute hand at 7 (35 min). In mirror: hour hand appears near 6 from right (appears at ~5 on left side), minute hand at 5 from left... Correct method: 12:00 − 6:35 = 5:25. So if actual is 6:35, mirror shows 5:25. ✓ Answer = 6:35 (option A, index 0).
