Show the answer

Correct answer: c) 0600

Why it is correct

Longitude 006º 44′ W is less than 7º 30′, so it belongs to zone 0. Greenwich civil time therefore matches the zone time: 0600.

Why the others are not

  • a) Subtracts 2 hours as if converting from summer official time.
  • b) Subtracts 1 hour as if in zone −1 E.
  • d) Adds 2 hours without justification.

How to work it out in the exam

  1. Below 7º 30′ of longitude the zone is 0 and HcG = Hz.
