2.05pm
2.50pm​

Answer 1

Answer:

2:20 P.M

Explanation:

Sam's meridian: 45°E

Harry's meridian: 50°E

Number of meridians between 45°E and 50°E: 50-45=5

The time gap between 2 meridians is 4 minutes,

Thus, the time gap between 5 meridians is: 5×4=20

thus the time gap between 45°E and 50°E is 20 minutes.

So, if the time at 45°E is 2:00 P.M then, the time at 50°E is 2:20 P.M
