Let's solve this step by step.
The task is to determine
two possible times (in 24-hour format) that each analog clock could represent, based on the position of the hour and minute hands. Since a 24-hour clock has two instances for most times — one in the AM (morning) and one in the PM (evening) — we need to find both possibilities.
We are given a vertical timeline from
00:00 (midnight) to
23:59, with
Noon at 12:00 and
Midnight again at 00:00.

Step-by-step analysis of each clock:
####
Clock 1 (Already done):
- Hour hand: between 8 and 9 → 8 o'clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 12 → 0 minutes
- So time is
08:00 or
20:00 (8 AM or 8 PM)
✔ Already filled:
08:00 and
20:00
---
####
Clock 2:
- Hour hand: between 7 and 8 → 7 o'clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
- So time is
07:30 or
19:30 (7:30 AM or 7:30 PM)
👉 Fill in:
07:30 and
19:30
---
####
Clock 3:
- Hour hand: pointing exactly at 9 → 9 o'clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 12 → 0 minutes
- So time is
09:00 or
21:00 (9 AM or 9 PM)
👉 Fill in:
09:00 and
21:00
---
####
Clock 4:
- Hour hand: between 1 and 2 → 1 o'clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 12 → 0 minutes
- So time is
01:00 or
13:00 (1 AM or 1 PM)
👉 Fill in:
01:00 and
13:00
---
####
Clock 5:
- Hour hand: pointing at 6 → 6 o'clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 12 → 0 minutes
- So time is
06:00 or
18:00 (6 AM or 6 PM)
👉 Fill in:
06:00 and
18:00
---
####
Clock 6:
- Hour hand: between 5 and 6 → 5 o'clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
- So time is
05:30 or
17:30 (5:30 AM or 5:30 PM)
👉 Fill in:
05:30 and
17:30
---
####
Clock 7:
- Hour hand: pointing at 3 → 3 o'clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 12 → 0 minutes
- So time is
03:00 or
15:00 (3 AM or 3 PM)
👉 Fill in:
03:00 and
15:00

Final Answers:
| Clock | Time 1 | Time 2 |
|-------|--------|--------|
| 1 | 08:00 | 20:00 |
| 2 | 07:30 | 19:30 |
| 3 | 09:00 | 21:00 |
| 4 | 01:00 | 13:00 |
| 5 | 06:00 | 18:00 |
| 6 | 05:30 | 17:30 |
| 7 | 03:00 | 15:00 |

✔ Explanation:
Each analog clock shows a specific time, but since the 24-hour clock includes both morning and evening, we write the same time twice: once as AM (00:00–11:59) and once as PM (12:00–23:59). The rule is:
- For times from
00:00 to 11:59: add 12 hours to get the PM equivalent.
- For times from
12:00 to 23:59: subtract 12 hours to get the AM equivalent.
For example:
- 07:30 → 19:30 (add 12)
- 09:00 → 21:00 (add 12)
- 01:00 → 13:00 (add 12)
- 06:00 → 18:00 (add 12)
And so on.
