Question 30

When it is noon at England, what will be the time in India?

Answer

The longitudinal difference between England and India: is 82° 30'.

For 1° longitudinal difference time is 4 minutes.

So, for 82° 30' longitudinal difference is 82° 30' x 4 = 330 minutes or 5 hours 30 minutes.

As India is situated in the east of England, the local time of India will be ahead the time of England.

The local time of India will be: 12 noon + 5 hours 30 minutes = 5:30 pm.
