Show Worked Solution

\(15^{\circ}\ =\text{1 hour time difference}\)

\(\text{Longitudinal distance}\) \(=30^{\circ}\)
\(\therefore\ \text{Time Difference}\) \(=\dfrac{30}{15}\)
  \(=2\ \text{hours}\)

  
\(\text{Time in Perth}\ =\ 12\ \text{pm}\)

\(\therefore\ \text{Time in Kathmandu}\) \( =\ 12\ \text{pm}\ -\ 2\ \text{hours}\)
  \(=\ 10:00\ \text{am}\)

\(\Rightarrow A\)
