Question

Q.3. It is 8 pm on 12th May at Prime Meridian, Write the dates and time at A and B in the table-

Place Longitude Date Time
A 150° E ____ ____
B 120° W ____ ____​

Answer 1

Answer:

A.6am, 13 may

B.12 noon,11 May

Explanation:

.As 150' is to the east of prime meridian the time will increase by 4 minutes for each longitude, so

150×4=600 minutes=10 hours, so if it is 8pm on 12th may at prime meridian, than it would be 6am on 13th may at 150'east

2.As 120' is to the west of prime meridian the time will decrease by 4minutes for every longitude,

120×4=480 minutes=8 hours,

as I said before time will go backwards in the west of prime meridian , so it would be 12noon,11May at 120' W.
