Question

What is the actual time if the reflected time is 3: 43 ?

A.

3:17

B.

7:17

C.

8:17

D.

8:43

Correct option is C

Solution

Step 1: Understanding Reflected Time

In a reflection (like in a mirror):
- The clock is reflected across the vertical axis (mirroring 12 at the top and 6 at the bottom).
- The sum of the actual time and the reflected time always equals 12:00.

Step 2: Calculate the Actual Time

Given:
Actual Time + Reflected Time = 12:00
Substitute the reflected time:
Actual Time + 3:43 = 12:00
Solve for the actual time:
Actual Time = 12:00 - 3:43

Step 3: Perform the Subtraction

Perform the subtraction:
12:00 - 3:43 = 8:17

Final Answer:

The actual time is **8:17**.
