How much is the difference of time between any two consecutive longitudes?

a

30 minutes

b

10 minutes

c

4 minutes

d

14 minutes

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

The earth has been divided into 360 degrees

of imaginary longitudinal lines. Now, these 360

degrees divided by 24-hour day, results in 4 minutes per longitude. Or, 360 degree = 24 hours, so

1 hour = 15 degrees, 1 degree = 4 minutes.
