Question

A child sees a watch and tells the times to his father that it is 2 and half minutes past 6 O'clock. If by mistake he sees the hour hand to minute hand and minute hand to hour hand, then what is the correct time?
1. 30 mins to 12 O'clock
2. 6 O'clock
3. 2 O'clock
4. 12 O'clock past 30 minutes

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 12 O'clock past 30 minutes

2 and a half minutes past 6 O' clock means the hour hand would be on 6 and the minute hand would be exactly between 12 and 1.
When we interchange the position of the minute and the hour hand, then the hour hand would be exactly between 12 and 1 and the minute hand would be on 6.

This means that the actual time is 30 minutes past 12 O' clock.
