Answers
Answer: in order to watch the Birmingham match at Sydney the viewers would have to tune their televisions at 7:24 p.m. local time.
Explanation: the local time at Birmingham is 9:00 a.m. and the location of Birmingham is 5 degree west of Prime Meridian
The GMT would be 9:20 a.m
(9:00 hrs + 5x4 min) = 9:00 hrs +20 min
=9:20 a. m
Sydney is located at 151°E of prime meridian
At any point of time Sidney would be 151x4 = 604 minutes= 10 hours 4 minutes ahead of GMT.
