Question

Kabeer lives in a small town near Bhopal. He tells his friend Alok that they will not be able to sleep tonight. A day and night cricket match between India and England had started at 2 pm. in London. This means that the match would finish well after 1 am in the night. The match according to Indian Standard Time (IST) has started at 7:30 pm. Do you know what the time difference is between India and England?

Answer 1

- Vindhyachal (Mirzapur Distt., U.P.) - India is located East of Greenwich at ${82}^{\circ }{30}^{\prime }E$, Its time is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich (London).
- So it will be 5:30 pm in India when it is 12:00 noon at London.
- When the cricket match starts at London at 2 pm, the time of match start in India is 7:30 pm.
- Kabeer will not be able to sleep that night because the match will be seen in India during the night.
