Answer
- The longitudinal difference: 60° + 90° = 150°
- For 1° longitudinal difference time difference is 4 minutes.
- So, for 150° longitudinal difference, the time difference is 150° x 4 = 600 minutes or 10 hours.
- As the given place is situated in the west of 90° east longitude, the local time at 60° west will be: (5:30 a.m. - 10 hours) = 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
