Which of the following shows the correct conversion of 0530?

  1. 5:00

  2. 5:30

  3. 6:00

  4. 6:30

The correct answer is: 5:30

The correct conversion of 0530 in military or 24-hour time format to standard 12-hour time is 5:30. In military time, the first two digits represent the hour, and the last two digits represent the minutes. Thus, 0530 translates to 5 hours and 30 minutes after midnight. When converting to standard time, the hour does not exceed 12, so 5:30 AM is the appropriate representation. It’s important to understand that military time ranges from 0000 to 2359, and times from 0000 to 1159 are generally in the morning. For clarity, the other options represent different times that do not match the conversion of 0530.
