Solution

The correct option is C 3:25
Given that at 3:20, the time shown is 11:25.
The time asked is after 2 days, i.e., 48 hours later.

The clock travels 55 minutes backwards in 1 hour.
The clock travels (55/60) x 48 hours backwards in 48 hours.

So, after 48 hours, the clock has moved 44 hours backwards.

It is a 12-hour clock, so,
12 x 3 = 36
It has covered the 12-hour duration three times.

Since 36 + 8 = 44,
The clock shows 8 hours earlier than the time shown initially. Initially, it showed 11:25; now, it shows 3:25.
