Question

An unlabelled analog clock is kept in front of the plane mirror. The actual time on the clock is 3. What will be the time on its mirror image?

• A. 3
• B. 6:15
• C. 9
• D. 9:30

Answer 1

The correct option is C 9

The left part appears to be on the right and the right appears to be on the left in the image formed by a plane mirror due to lateral inversion.
In the analog clock, the hour hand of the image points to 3 and the minute hand points towards 12 when time is 3.
When we see this clock in a plane mirror, then the hour hand in the mirror image points towards 9 and the minute hand remains unchanged.
Therefore, the time in the mirror image will be 9.
