Question

a flight from Dubai takes off at 2139 hours and arrives India at 0005 hours how much time is taken by the flight to reach India​

Answer 1

Answer:

The time taken by the flight to reach India​ is 2hours and 26minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take-off from Dubai = 2139 hours

Arrival at India = 0005 hours

There are 2 possibilities,

i) Both the times are mentioned in UTC (standard used by airports which is equal to GMT)

ii) Times are mentioned in the country's respective time zone.

Let's consider the first possibility,

i.e, Both the times are mentioned in UTC

2139 hours means 9:39pm,

0005 hours mean 12:05am

So if we calculate, from 9:39pm to 12:05am,

it makes 2hours and 26minutes.

Now let's consider the second possibility,

i.e, Times are mentioned in the country's respective time zone,

2139(9:39pm) hours in Dubai means 11:09pm in India,

and 0005 hours mean 12:05am,

So if we calculate, from 11:09pm to 12:05am,

it makes 56minutes.

This seems practically impossible, since civilian plane doesn't travel so fast, hence first possibility holds good.

Therefore, time taken by the flight to reach India​ is 2hours and 26minutes.
