My flight took off at 2 am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 hours later at a place with coordinates 36N 70W. What is the local time when my plane landed?

Detailed Solution for Test: Clocks & Calendars (February 7) - Question 10

Local time varies only with longitudes.
The flight travelled from 10E to 70W longitudes i.e. 80° longitudes.
Time change because of longitude change = 80 × 4 = 320 minutes = 5 hours and 20 minutes
Time at 18N 10E after 10 hour journey = 2 am + 10 hours = 12 pm
Because the flight travelled towards West from East, the local time at 36N 70W
= 12 pm - 5 hrs 20 m = 6:40 am
