Question

What will be the time in India (884° East) when it is 7 am at Greenwich?

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

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 12:30 pm

India's standard time (Indian Standard Time, IST) is based on the 82.5° East longitude and is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is at 0° longitude.

Given:

• GMT time = 7:00 am

• Longitude for India mentioned = 884° East (which seems to be a typo; the recognized standard longitude for IST is 82.5° East)

Assuming the question intends the usual Indian Standard Time calculation based on 82.5° East longitude:

• IST = GMT + 5 hours 30 minutes

• So, when it is 7:00 am at GMT, the time in India will be:

7:00 am + 5 hours 30 minutes = 12:30 pm
