Question

What is the time shown in the given clock in 24-hours format if it is PM?

• A. 5:20 AM
• B. 17:25
• C. 5:20
• D. 5:25

Answer 1

The correct option is B

17:25

The hour hand has slightly passed 5 and the minute hand is on 5, which means it is 25 minutes past. Thus, the time is 5:25 PM.

To convert PM to 24 hour time format, we should add 12 hours to the time.

$\therefore$ 5:25 PM in 24 hour time format is 5:25 + 12:00 = 17:25.
