the time difference between the places is equal to 14 hours
1 hour is equal to 60 minutes
14 hours is equal to 840 minutes
4 minutes make a longitudinal difference of 1 Degree
so 840 minutes will make a longitudinal difference of 210 degrees
the place is in the east of Greenwich so the longitudinal difference of 210 degrees must be
added.
longitude of the place is equal to 0 degree+210 degree is equal to 210 degree
but since we know that a hemisphere has only 180 longitudes so we consider 30 degree more and thus the longitude of the places 150 degree in the Western hemisphere
