A cricket live telecast starts in New Delhi at 6.30 PM on 23rd May. At what time of the day and date will the same broadcast be heard at 180°E longitude?

Correct option is C

The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each corresponding to a 15-degree longitude interval. The time difference between New Delhi (India), which is at 77.1° E, and a location at 180° E longitude (which is just to the east of India) is calculated as follows:

• New Delhi follows Indian Standard Time (IST), which is UTC +5:30.

• The 180° E longitude is UTC +12:00.
  
  

The time difference between IST (UTC +5:30) and UTC +12:00 is 6 hours and 30 minutes ahead.

So, when the cricket live telecast begins at 6:30 PM on 23rd May in New Delhi, the corresponding time at 180°E longitude would be 6 hours and 30 minutes ahead, making it 1:00 AM on 24th May.
