Solution
The correct option is B3:25a.m.
We know that the time between 12 midnight and 12 noon (midday) is referred to as a.m., so the time in the morning is assigned “a.m.”.
Given, the hour hand of the clock points between 3 and 4, so it indicates 3 hours.
The minute hand of the clock points at 5. So five times 5 minutes have passed, i.e., 5×5=25min.
So, the time shown by the clock is 3:25.
And since the given time is shown on the clock in the morning, the correct time will be 3:25 a.m.
