Question

Calculate the local time at Singapore (104 degrees E) when it is 6:00 p.m. at Greenwich(0 degrees)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The longitudinal difference in Singapore and Greenwich is 104°, so the time difference is 104 × 4 = 416 minutes i.e. 6 hours 56 minutes. So the time in Singapore will be 12.56 a.m.

Answer 2

Answer:

12:56 pm

Explanation:

as we move towards east,

1° = 4 minutes more than Greenwich

⇒104° = 104×4 = 416 minutes = 6 hrs and 56 minutes.

so, time in singapore will be

6hrs + 6hrs 56minutes

⇒ 12:56 pm
