• A. 1:30 am
• B. 11:30 am
• C. 12:00 pm
• D. 12:30 pm

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 12:30 pm

India Standard Time (IST) is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Therefore, when it is 7:00 am at Greenwich (GMT), the time in India will be:

7:00 am (GMT)+5 hours 30 minutes=12:30 pm (IST)7:00 am (GMT)+5 hours 30 minutes=12:30 pm (IST)

So, when it is 7 am at GMT, the time in India (88° East longitude) is 12:30 pm.
