I. You can use two kinds of clocks to tell time. Both clocks showAn hour has 60 minutes.A half hour has 30 minutes.There are 5 minutes between each number on the clock face.
Explanation
This question aims at testing one's knowledge about basic time measurement, specifically with the function of clocks and the division of time into hours and minutes. It implies that knowledge of two types of clocks is necessary, although it does not specify what these two types are. The common types could be analog (with hands pointing at numbers around a circular face) and digital (usually displaying time numerically). The definition of an hour and a half-hour will be the same irrespective of the type of clock. The question also tests the understanding of how time is represented on a typical clock face i.e., an analog clock.
