Answer
The longitudinal difference between Auckland and Wollongong is: 175° - 150° = 25°
For 1° longitudinal difference time difference is 4 minutes.
So, for 25° longitudinal difference time difference is 25° x 4 = 100 minutes or 1 hour 40 minutes.
As Auckland is situated in the east of Wollongong, the local time of Auckland will be ahead the time of Wollongong.
The local time of Auckland will be: 2 pm + 1 hours 40 minutes = 3:40 p.m.
