(2:00+4:00)am=6:00am

So it is clear that when four hrs included in 2o'clock then time of local place =6o'clock

let longitude be x

A/Q to rule ,

x×4min= 4 hrs= 240min

x= 240/4 = 60 degree


seetashma: 60 degree in which direction ?
vishal5534: East
seetashma: how explain it?
vishal5534: as in east the time increase and in west the time decrease. This is according to the GMT
seetashma: thank you!
