The correct option is B 10 mins past 8 pm
The hour hand is at 8 and hence reads 8 o' clock.
The minute hand is at 2.
Since the minute hand covers 5 minutes on moving from one number to the next, the minute hand on the given clock reads 2×5 = 10 minutes.
∴ The time on the clock is 8:10 pm, which is nothing but 10 minutes past 8 pm.
