Question 1464Navigation General

The correct answer is C) 00h 02m on the 6th. The reasoning is as follows: 1. Your starting longitude is 179°59'W, which is close to the International Date Line (180°). 2. When you cross the International Date Line from west to east, you gain a day. So your starting date is the 4th day of the month. 3. After 6 minutes, your position is 179°59'E, which means you have crossed the International Date Line. This means your new date is the 6th day of the month, and your new LMT is 00h 02m. The other options are incorrect because: A) This would be the correct LMT, but the date is a day early. B) The date is correct, but the LMT is too early. D) The date is a day late, and the LMT is incorrect.
