Answer:
The question seems incomplete. The date and time can be with respect to any given date. Are we talking about the date an time in India or date and time at the prime meridian.
Lets assume that it is 14th August 00:00 AM at the Prime Meridian then it will be 5:30 AM of 15th August in India since IST is +5:30 from the Greenwich mean time.
Prime meridian is 0° if we go east the time is added and if we go west it is subtracted.
360° W from prime meridian subtracts 1 day or 24 hours
Therefore 1° W will subtract 24/360 hours
Therefore 160° W will subtract (24/360) × 160 hours = 10.67 hours = 10 hours, 40 minutes, 12 seconds
Therefore the date at place B will be 14th August, Time will be 1 : 09 : 48 PM or approximately 9 past 1 PM
