Question

The time shown by the clock is _____ .

• A. 07:35
• B. 05:07
• C. 05:35
• D. 07:25

Answer 1

The correct option is C 05:35

The hour hand is between 5 and 6, which means the hour reads '5' on the clock.
The minute hand is at 7.
We know that each major division on the clock, accounts to 5 minutes for the minute hand.
So, the minutes shown by the clock
= 7 $\times$ 5
= 35.
$\therefore$ The time shown by the clock = 05:35
