Solution

The correct time is 4 o'clock. Here's why:

  1. A mirror image of a clock flips the image horizontally. This means that the positions of the hour and minute hands are reversed.

  2. When the clock shows 8 o'clock, the hour hand points to 8 and the minute hand points to 12.

  3. In the mirror image, the hour hand would point to 4 and the minute hand would still point to 12.

  4. Therefore, the correct time is 4 o'clock.
