. It is 10 AM in Kathmandu which is located at 85 degree East longitudes, what will be the time in Singapore located at 105 degree East longitudes?
Answers
Explanation:
The difference between the geographical times between the two places is (105–85)×(60/15)=20×4 = 80 min. = 1hr.20min. Hence it should be 5.20p.m. at longitude 105°E.
But the time zones are adopted in such a way that the standard times at any differ from the GMT by either a full number of hours or a half-odd number of hours. Hence the standard local time for the 85°E latitude is likely to be the geographical time of 82.5°E, which is the Indian standard time. I am not really aware of the time zone conventions in force in the places lying to the north of India, viz. Tibet, China, Kazakhstan and Russia on the 85°E longitude, so I assume that it follows the IST, and there is a difference of 105–82.5 = 22.5° in the longitudes for the purposes of calculating the local times. Therefore we may take the difference in their local times as (22.5/15) hours = 1 hour and 30 min.
Hence the required answer is 4.00hrs+1.30hrs = 5.30p.m.
