Answer:

The correct answer is 4 pm.

Explanation:

Concept:

As we know that Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) is located at 0° longitude.

  • When we move towards the east of GMT, it takes 4 minutes

             i.e: Time taken to cross 1° East longitude = +4 minutes.

            → (1°West longitude = -4 minutes)

  • It means that as we move towards the east of GMT, and time increases.

             → While, when we move towards the west of GMT, time decreases.

Solution:

  • As given, Time at GMT = 12 noon.
  • The place is situated at 60°East longitude.
  • From the above concept, we know that 1° East longitude = 4 minutes ahead.
  • Therefore, 60°East longitude = 4 x 60 = 240 minutes ahead.
  • Here, 240 minutes = 4 hours.
  • Hence, Required time at given place = 12 noon + 4 hours = 4 pm.
