Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B 12
C 1

Half-past twelve is another way of saying it is half an hour after 12.

Half an hour equals 30 minutes.

$\therefore$ Half-past twelve is 12:30.

When a clock reads 12:30, the hour hand will lie exactly between 12 and 1 and the minute hand will point at 6.
