Solution

The correct option is C 9
The left part appears to be on the right and the right appears to be on the left in the image formed by a plane mirror due to lateral inversion.
In the analog clock, the hour hand of the image points to 3 and the minute hand points towards 12 when time is 3.
When we see this clock in a plane mirror, then the hour hand in the mirror image points towards 9 and the minute hand remains unchanged.
Therefore, the time in the mirror image will be 9.
