Question

According to Sir Sandford Fleming, degrees of longitudes by which 24 time zones are divided is ______________.

• A. 5 of longitude
• B. 15 of longitude
• C. 25 of longitude
• D. 10 of longitude

Answer 1

The correct option is B 15 of longitude

There are 360 longitudes and these longitudes are divided into 24 time zones.

In order to divide 24 time zones from 360 longitudes, 15 degree can be counted as one hour.

360/15=24

And 1 degree is equal to 4 minutes.
