Given : Sam’s stays on 45֯E meridian.
It is 2pm at Sam’s place.
His friend Harry stays on 50֯ E meridian.
To Find : What will be the Local time at Harry’s place
Solution:
360 deg longitude = 24 hours
=> 1 deg longitude = 24 / 360 hr = 1/15 hr = 4 mins
Prime meridian follows GMT is at 0 deg longitude
East is ahead of GMT & West lags GMT
45֯E meridian => 45 * 4 = 180 mins ahead of Prime meridian
50֯ E meridian => 50 * 4 = 200 mins ahead of Prime meridian
Hence 50֯ E meridian is 200 - 180 = 20 mins ahead of 45֯E meridian
Time at 45֯E meridian is 2PM
Hence Time at 50E meridian is 2 : 20 PM
Local time at Harry’s place is 2 : 20 PM
