If the time in New York (75°W) is 5.00pm. The time in Nigeria(15°E) will be?

A. 9.00pm
B. 9.00pm
C. 11.00pm
D. 11.00am

Correct Answer:

Option C – 11.00pm

Explanation

15° = 1 hour, therefore, 75°W = 5 hours, and also, 15°E = 1 hour

Therefore, 75°W + 15°E (5 hours + 1 hour) = 6 hours.

For the time in Nigeria when the time in New York is 5:00pm

5:00pm+6 hours = 11:00 pm
