The living room of my house contains a mirror which is positioned so that I can see a reflection of the digital clock when I am standing in the hallway. For example, at 12:15 I can see the following: 21:51I have to be careful, because if I forget that it is a reflection I might think that it is 21:51.On the next occasion that the mirror appears to show a real time, what time will be shown in the mirror?
Correct answer: C. 15:51
- A. 05:51
- B. 12:20
- C. 15:51
- D. 21:52
Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: 15:51. Since the mirror shows a reversed image, the time displayed will be the reverse of the actual time. In this case, 15:51 will be shown in the mirror as 21:51 was seen before. Option A is incorrect because it does not take into account the reversal in the mirror. Option B is incorrect because it assumes the mirror reflects the same time. Option D is incorrect because it does not consider the reflection in the mirror.
