Question
When it is noon along 82º30' Elongitude along what degree oflongitude it will be 6:30 a.m.?IAS (Pre) 1994 At 165º East(B) At 67º30' West(C) At 0º East or West(D) At 82º30' West
Solution
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, which means it rotates 15 degrees per hour.
Given that it's noon at 82º30' E longitude, we need to find out where it will be 6:30 a.m., which is 5.5 hours behind.
So, we multiply the time difference by the rate of rotation: 5.5 hours * 15 degrees/hour = 82.5 degrees.
Subtracting this from the given longitude: 82º30' E - 82.5 degrees = 0 degrees.
Therefore, it will be 6:30 a.m. at 0º East or West. So, the answer is (C) At 0º East or West.
