To find: Actual time.

This question is of symmetry

Mirror is acting as line of symmetry

in 8 : 35

hour hand should in between 8 & 9

Minute hand is on 7

now using symmetry

Opposite no of 8 & 9 on clock are 4 & 3

Also opposite  no of 7  on clock is 5

Now, deducing time form above information

Hour hand is between 3 & 4 means time is past 3 and minute hand is on 5 means 25 minutes.
