JAMB - Geography (2018 - No. 37)

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

9.00pm

11.00pm

11.00am

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
