14.U didn't give it west or est bro if it's east then , 8:40am . if it's west then, 3:20pm
Explanation:
13. For every one degree in longitude , 4 minutes changes . When it's west to prime meridian the time increases. so , 120° , converted into minutes give 480 minutes.
Hours = 480/60
= 8
5:30pm +8 hours gives us 1:30am the next day .
14.When it is east to prime meridian the time decreases . The reason is Sun rises at east . Meaning Sun first shows up at east and finally travel and show up in the west.
If u have given east .
50° = 200 min
Hours = 200/60
= 3 hr 20 min
So , towards east , 12:00 noon - 3hr 20min
gives 8:40 am.
So , towards west , 12:00 noon +3hr 20min
gives 3:20 pm.
