Question

Choose the correct option according to the time shown in the analog clock.

• A. Quarter past $1$
• B. Quarter to $1$
• C. Half past $1$
• D. Quarter to $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A Quarter past $1$

Detailed step-by-step solution:
The hour hand has just crossed $1$ and is close to $1,$ and the minute hand is at $3.$ If we skip count by $5$'s $3$ times we will get $5+5+5=15.$
So we can say that the time is $1:15.$
Or, we can say that the time is $15$ minutes past $1.$
$15$ minutes is called a quarter.



So, the time is quarter past $1$.
