19. What will be the time at Greenwich meridian when it is 12 noon at longitude 60°E?
- A. 4.00 a.m
- B. 4.00 p.m
- C. 8.00 a.mCorrect
- D. 8.00 p.m
Explanation
The longitude difference between Greenwich (0°) and 60°E is 60°. Since a 15° difference equals a 1-hour time difference, 60° equals a 4-hour difference. Travelling west from 60°E to reach 0°, we subtract time: 12 noon - 4 hrs = 8.00 a.m.
