InterviewSolution

1.	The time of places at same longitude is always the same and from east to west on different longitudes it is different. Explain.
Answer» The time of places at same longitude is always the same, so when we proceed towards 1° east to know the time of a place, 4 minutes are added to the local time of that place. In the same way, when we move towards 1° west, we subtract 4 minutes from the local time of that place.
