Time at Greenwich = 7:30 pmGreenwich is the 0°longitude.Time at given place = 12 pmDifference between the time at both places = 7 hours 30 mins.Since the time at given place is less than that at the Greenwich meridian, the place is to the west of it.It takes 4 minutes for the earth to cover 1°Therefore, it will take 60 minutes (1 hour) to cover 15°So, the Earth will cover 112.5°(15x7.5) in 7.5 hrsThus, the location of the place is 112.5°West
