- There is difference of 80 degrees between two places. So we can say that there will be 320 mins difference between the local times of two places i.e., 5 hrs. 20 mins. So the answer will be 6:40 AM.

- it is given that flight takes off from a place at 18N 10E and lands at 36N 70E. Forget the north part and focus on the East direction. That makes an angle of 80 degrees(70+10).
now,
1 degree is equivalent to 4 minutes
therefore,
80 degrees = 320 minutes
320 min. is equal to 5 hrs 20 min
now, it takes 10 hrs to complete the journey
therefore, plane lands at 12 noon according to previous place.
subtract 5 hrs 20 min from 12 noon
which give 6:40 am .... which is the answer - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- Ans:-12PM
here's place no required only times matter - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
- Ans :- 08.00AM
Hint : Every 1 deg longitude is equal to 4 minutes . If west to east add time else subtract time - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
