I have a DS Question.
Q. What time is it on a certain clock?
1. The hour hand is halfway between 6 and 7
2. The minute hand is at 6.

Ans given is 'A' i.e. statement '1' is sufficient (it means time is 6:30), but I think it should be 'E' as both statements together do not give whether it is AM or PM. Can someone explain me?

yes indeed the answer should be A. the 12 hr clock doesnt ever show AM or PM... so actually the question is not asking AM or PM its just asking time....
