Question

When it is 6.00 AM on $0^o$ meridian, at the same time what time would be there in India?

• A. 6.30 AM
• B. 9.30 AM
• C. 11.30 AM
• D. 5.30 AM

Answer 1

The correct option is C 11.30 AM

India Standard Time i.e. IST is at 82.5${}^{\circ }$ meridian. We generally add 4 min to every 1 degree so, 82.5${}^{\circ }\times 4$ = 330. Now, 330/60 = 5.5 hr = 5 hr 30 min. We are moving from 0${}^{\circ }$ meridian to 82.5${}^{\circ }$ meridian, we will add it. 6.00+5.30 = 11.30 A.M.
