Question

Four friends Vivek,Amit, Chandan and Tanu noted the time they read on the wall clock shown here.Who has read it correctly?

• A. Vivek, 08:40
• B. Chandan, 09:40
• C. Amit, 08:45
• D. Tanu, 08:45

Answer 1

The correct option is A Vivek, 08:40

We will take each option separately.
(a) Vivek read the time 08:40
It is absolutely right as the hour hand is between 8 and 9 that means it is past 8 and minute hand is pointing at 8 which means 8x5 = 40 minutes
(b) Chandan has read 09:40 which is incorrect
Similarly, for options (c) and (d), the times read are incorrect.
