Hello

A

The correct answer is 11.55 am.

Reason for my answer:

You need to understand that time doesn't move backwards. Take this statement as constant. Also note that MIDNIGHT is 12.00pm on the dot, and lastly Mark the word "TO"

Now; If you decide to pick 12.03, you'd have 23 hours and 57 minutes to get to the next midnight.

If you choose 11:55 am which is our answer, you'd have 12 hours, 5 minutes to the next midnight.

If you choose 12:06 am, you'd have 23 hours, 54 minutes to the next midnight.

If you choose 11.10 am, you'd have 12 hours and 10 minutes to the next midnight.

Based on this analysis, I boldly submit that the answer is [b]11.55 am.

Answer is D. Midnight is 12 so 1203 is 3 minutes apart while 1155 is 5 minutes apart with makes 1203 closest.

LoL you would have been correct if it was 11:55 pm but it was 11:55 am bro

God. This simple question and yet most people can't answer it.

The answer is D.

The closet time to midnight. The question didn't say before or after midnight, it just said what is the closest time to midnight.

12:06 am is the closest to midnight in the options.

Zee0007:
The correct answer is 11.55 am.

Reason for my answer:

You need to understand that time doesn't move backwards. Take this statement as constant. Also note that MIDNIGHT is 12.00pm on the dot, and lastly Mark the word "Too"

Now; If you decide to pick 12.03, you'd have 23 hours and 57 minutes to get to the next midnight.

If you choose 11:55 am which is our answer, you'd have 12 hours, 5 minutes to the next midnight.

If you choose 12:06 am, you'd have 23 hours, 54 minutes to the next midnight.

Your analysis may be linguistically logical but it's incorrect.
Time is a physical quantity and a scalar.
The direction is not important. Only the magnitude is.
Whether to, from, above, below is inconsequential when operating with scalars.
10 minutes to 5 pm and 10 minutes after 5 pm amount to a time of simply 10 minutes.
So the correct answer is 12:06 am.

From a contemporary physics standpoint, time is not a scalar and not a vector as many thought it to be. it is simply a coordinate because time is relative depending on the viewer, so it cannot be defined as a scalar.

Although In Newtonian physics time has a universal explanation and is mostly thought of as a scalar which is not fully true.

Time is a coordinate label and is only significant in the context of spacetime, but not truly by itself.

GreatVocalist:

Lol. It is "time" that is a scalar quantity, not the clock. We use the clock to tell time, so in this case, the words "to" and "after" are necessarily consequential to what the time actually says.

If 10 minutes to 5pm and 10 minutes after 5pm mean exactly the same thing, how then do we interpret 4:50pm and 5:10pm with respect to the 5:00pm mark?



By the way sir, I would like to contact you privately. I want to make enquiries about something. I hope you don't mind?

The bolded is completely true.
The question asked for the closest time and not the closest clock.

Take a look at the following statement.

C'mon George! It's just 5 mins away from midnight.
Would you say the time is 11:55 pm or 12:05 am?

Read this article

Pay attention to the topic and the content, particularly the use of "from midnight" and "to midnight".

The answer is D.

The closet time to midnight. The question didn't say before or after midnight, it just said what is the closest time to midnight.

Simple but you couldnt even get it right.. Closest time "TO" midnight there 11:55am

12:03

See as you speak stupid english finish still come disgrace yourself.

GreatVocalist:

The question could be paraphrased as "among the following, which is closest to midnight?". Notice that neither the word "time" nor "clock" was used here, but the word "to" is still present.

The question can also be paraphrased in many other forms without the use of the words "time" and "clock".

That stresses the fact that it has nothing to do with time being a physical quantify, but the subject matter is on the word "to", and what it means.

In the case of the word "from", that is more difficult to determine, it could either mean "before it gets to", or "after it has gotten to". So one would need more clarification from the person passing the information.

This is not a difficult concept to grasp. We don't need the concepts of physics to unravel this puzzle, it's just simple English and the prowess of lexical interpretation.

Well, orange can be a fruit as well as a colour.
You are speaking English, I am speaking science.
We do need the concept of physics.
That's why it's a puzzle as you mentioned.
Besides, you may look at time as something readable from the "tick" of a clock.
To me, time is much more than that.
But since you've constrained yourself to the simplicity of your understanding, let me let you breath.
