Answer 1

Answer :-

Time at Canberra is 1:04PM.

Explanation:

To Find :-

• Calculate the time at Canberra.

★ Solution -

Given,

Time at Mumbai [73° E]

↠ 8:00 AM

Difference in longitude [Mumbai & Canberra].

As Mumbai and Canberra are in the Eastern side.

So, We need to subtract them to get the difference of longitude.

↠ 149° E - 73° E

↠ 76° E

Now, Difference in time.

As we know that,

4 minutes for 1° of longitude.

Therefore,

↠ 76° × 4

↠ 304 minutes or 5 hours 4 minutes.

The difference of time has to be added as Canberra is to the east of Mumbai.

Time at Canberra :-

↠ 8:00 AM + 5 hours 4 minutes

↠ 13:04 or 1:04 PM.
