Question

How would you read the time given in the clock shown below?

• A. 07:55:08
• B. 06:55:42
• C. 06:20:08
• D. 07:55:42

Answer 1

The correct option is B 06:55:42

From the analog clock shown in the question, we can see:

• The hour hand lies between 6 and 7. Thus, the clock reads 6 hours.
• The minute hand lies exactly at 11.
• $(5\times 11)=55$
• Thus, the minute hand indicates 55 minutes.
• The second hand lies 2 notches after 8.
• $\Rightarrow (5\times 8)+2=40+2=42$
• Thus, the second hand indicates 42 seconds.

Hence, the corresponding time on the digital clock is 06:55:42.
