The figure given alongside shows the image of a clock as seen in a plane mirror. The correct time is:(a) 2.25 (b) 2.35 (c) 6.45 (d) 9.25 "


(d) 9.25


Explanation

The correct time is 9:25 since the image formed by a plane mirror is laterally inverted.

Lateral inversion is one of the characteristics of the plane mirror, which means the right side of the object appears as the left side of its image and vice-versa (left side of the object appears as the right side of its image).

Other characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror are virtual, erect (upright), of the same size, and at the same distance.
