In the dial of a clock, lines are marked instead of numbers. Observing through a plane mirror the time appeared to bt 7.25. What was the actual time ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the mirror, the image of the dial is laterally inverted. The hour hand actually between 4 and 5 appeared in the mirror between 7 and 8, and the minute hand actually at 7 appeared at 5[Fig.1.52]. So, the actual time was 4.35.
