Question

At Town A( 20°W) it is 8 a.m. and at that moment the time is 14:30 hrs at Town B. What is the Longitude of Town B ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer would be 90° West.

Explanation:

Let me explain.

   The station A is at 60° West with local time 6:30 PM.

   Station B has local time 4:30 PM.

   Now,we can find that the time difference between the two stations is two hours.

   Since 15° is covered in one hour, in the same way 2 hours would cover 30°.

   Simply add 30 degrees to station A location i.e 60°.The answer would be 90°.

   It's direction would be towards East of the Station A because station B is ahead of station A in time.

   So it would be 90° West.
