The reflection of the clock shows 8:20.

When we look at a clock, we see the hour and minute hands pointing in a certain direction. However, when we look at the reflection of the clock, the hour and minute hands appear to be pointing in the opposite direction. This is because the reflection reverses the direction of everything in the image.

So, if a clock shows 3:40, the reflection of the clock will show 8:20. This is because the hour hand will be pointing to the 8, and the minute hand will be pointing to the 4.
