Explanation:
India and the United Kingdom lie on different longitudes. Each degree of longitudes corresponds to a difference of four minutes. This is because the earth rotates 360

in 24 hours, 1
o
in 4 minutes. The standard meridian of India is 82

30
′
E, and that of London is 0
o
. This means a difference of 4 minutes ×82.5=330 minutes =5.5 hours. So when it is 12 noon in London, it is 5.30 p.m. in India.
