Question

Once a sailor was sailing on a certain ocean. Wishing to listen to worldnews, he tuned his radio and heard. “Good morning listeners! This is BBC. It is six o’ clock in the morning’. If the sailor’s ship at that particular moments stood on 60 degree E Meridian, what was time by his watch (local time)?

Answer 1

hii ,what you want to ask

Answer 2

BBC World Radio service is located in London,United Kingdom. It follows Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) time zone.

On Earth, each degree of longitude change accounts for four minutes.

So, for 60 degrees, shift in time will be 60*4 = 240 minutes or 4 hours

For East direction, time is ahead of GMT.

Let us assume that the sailor has just started the journey at 60 degree East meridian.

If it is six o’ clock in the morning (i.e.) 6 A.M., then the local time in the watch of the sailor will be showing 6 + 4 = 10 A.M.
