Let’s solve each row step by step. We’ll read the start time, end time, and then calculate how much time passed (elapsed time) between them.
---
Row 1:
Start Time clock:
Hour hand is just past 1 → so it’s 1 o’clock.
Minute hand points to 5 → that’s 25 minutes (because each number = 5 minutes: 5 × 5 = 25).
→ Start Time:
1:25
End Time clock:
Hour hand is just before 4 → so it’s 3 o’clock? Wait — let’s check carefully.
Actually, hour hand is between 3 and 4, closer to 4 → but since minute hand is at 11 (which is 55 minutes), the hour hand should be almost at 4. So yes, it’s 3:55? Wait — no! Let me recheck.
Wait — look again:
First clock (start):
Hour hand between 1 and 2 → so 1 o’clock.
Minute hand on 5 → 5 × 5 = 25 →
1:25
Second clock (end):
Hour hand between 3 and 4 → so 3 o’clock.
Minute hand on 11 → 11 × 5 = 55 →
3:55
Elapsed time from 1:25 to 3:55:
From 1:25 to 2:25 = 1 hour
From 2:25 to 3:25 = another hour → total 2 hours
From 3:25 to 3:55 = 30 minutes
Total elapsed =
2 hours 30 minutes
✔ Row 1: Start 1:25, End 3:55, Elapsed 2h 30m
---
Row 2:
Start Time clock:
Hour hand between 5 and 6 → so 5 o’clock.
Minute hand on 2 → 2 × 5 = 10 →
5:10
End Time clock:
Hour hand between 8 and 9 → so 8 o’clock.
Minute hand on 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 →
8:15
Elapsed time from 5:10 to 8:15:
From 5:10 to 6:10 = 1 hour
6:10 to 7:10 = 1 hour → total 2 hours
7:10 to 8:10 = 1 hour → total 3 hours
8:10 to 8:15 = 5 minutes
Total =
3 hours 5 minutes
✔ Row 2: Start 5:10, End 8:15, Elapsed 3h 5m
---
Row 3:
Start Time clock:
Hour hand between 9 and 10 → so 9 o’clock.
Minute hand on 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 →
9:15
End Time clock:
Hour hand between 10 and 11 → so 10 o’clock.
Minute hand on 11 → 11 × 5 = 55 →
10:55
Elapsed time from 9:15 to 10:55:
From 9:15 to 10:15 = 1 hour
From 10:15 to 10:55 = 40 minutes
Total =
1 hour 40 minutes
✔ Row 3: Start 9:15, End 10:55, Elapsed 1h 40m
---
Row 4:
Start Time clock:
Hour hand between 10 and 11 → so 10 o’clock.
Minute hand on 11 → 11 × 5 = 55 →
10:55
End Time clock:
Hour hand between 3 and 4 → so 3 o’clock.
Minute hand on 6 → 6 × 5 = 30 →
3:30
Wait — this goes from 10:55 to 3:30? That must cross noon or midnight? But in elementary problems like this, we assume same day and forward time.
So from 10:55 AM to 3:30 PM? Or maybe it's all within one cycle? Actually, looking at the clocks — both are analog without AM/PM, so we assume the end time is later than start time on the same day.
But 10:55 to 3:30 — if it’s afternoon, that’s fine.
Let’s calculate:
From 10:55 to 11:55 = 1 hour
11:55 to 12:55 = 1 hour → total 2 hours
12:55 to 1:55 = 1 hour → total 3 hours
1:55 to 2:55 = 1 hour → total 4 hours
2:55 to 3:30 = 35 minutes
Total =
4 hours 35 minutes
Alternatively, you can do:
From 10:55 to 3:55 would be 5 hours, but we only go to 3:30, which is 25 minutes less → 5 hours - 25 min = 4 hours 35 minutes. Same answer.
✔ Row 4: Start 10:55, End 3:30, Elapsed 4h 35m

Final Answer:
Row 1: Start Time: 1:25, End Time: 3:55, Elapsed Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Row 2: Start Time: 5:10, End Time: 8:15, Elapsed Time: 3 hours 5 minutes
Row 3: Start Time: 9:15, End Time: 10:55, Elapsed Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
Row 4: Start Time: 10:55, End Time: 3:30, Elapsed Time: 4 hours 35 minutes
