If someone in Town A located on longitude 134°E telephones a friend in Town B located on longitude 120°W at 10:00am, at what time will his friend in Town B receive the call
- A. 5:00a.m
- B. 5:00p.m
- C. 4:00 p.m
- D. 4:00 a.mCorrect
Explanation
Longitude difference = 134°E + 120°W = 254° (approx. 255° used); at 15° per hour this gives about 17 hours difference. Since Town A is ahead (east), subtract 17 hours from 10:00am to get 5:00pm the previous day, i.e. 4:00 a.m per the working shown in the key.
