Can somebody report an error? Reason: the clock was not accurate. the hr hand was at 4 when the minute hand was at 9! But the hour hand is supposed to be between x ad x 1(x is hour) if y(minute hand number) is grater than 6. But the picture does not follow that rule and thus the picture is wrong.

Ya. I decided to choose option C though even though I realized it was 7:30 p.m . I mean if the clock time was true in the picture, the answer would be 7:00 p.m. They did not mention whether the clock time was true or not
