91. Singapore local time is determined from 120° E longitude. If current local time at Singapore is 9 : 15 A.M. then what will be the local time at Delhi at that time ?
(1) 6 : 45 P.M.
(2) 11 : 45 P.M.
(3) 11 : 45 A.M.
(4) 6 : 45 A.M.
EXPLAINATION: Singapore local time is determined from 120° E longitude. Current local time at Singapore is 9:15 A.M. Delhi's longitude is 77° E.
The difference in longitude between Singapore and Delhi is 120° - 77 ° = 43°
Each 1° of longitude corresponds to a 4minutes time difference.
then 43°= 43*4=172minutes = 2h52minutes
the local time of delhi (9:15- 2h 52m)= 6:45 A.M
