Answer 1

Answer:

To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of time zones and longitudinal differences.

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the standard time at the Prime Meridian (0° longitude). Dhaka, Bangladesh is located at approximately 90° east longitude, which is 6 hours ahead of GMT.

So, if the match is scheduled to begin at 2pm GMT, it will begin at 8pm in Dhaka (2pm + 6 hours).

To determine the longitude that passes through Dhaka, we can use the fact that there are 360° of longitude in a circle and 24 hours in a day. Therefore, each hour of time difference corresponds to 15° of longitude (360°/24 hours). Since Dhaka is 6 hours ahead of GMT, it is located at 90° + 6(15°) = 180° east longitude.

To find the time at which the match will begin in Missouri, USA (located on 90° west longitude), we need to calculate the time difference between Missouri and GMT. Since Missouri is 90° west of the Prime Meridian, it is 6 hours behind GMT (90°/15° per hour = 6 hours).

Therefore, if the match begins at 2pm GMT, it will begin at 8am in Missouri (2pm - 6 hours).
