Show Worked Solution

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

\(\text{Longitudinal distance}=30^{\circ}\)

\(\text{Time Difference}=\dfrac{30}{15}=2\ \text{hours}\)

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

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

\(\Rightarrow A\)
