70% to pass

Some places maintain a zone time of -13. What are the time and date at Greenwich if the zone time and date are 2152, 10 January?

A 1052, 9 January
B 0852, 10 January
C 1052, 10 January
D 1052, 11 January
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 0852, 10 January. The explanation is as follows: 1) The zone time given is -13, which means the local time is 13 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). 2) The local time given is 2152 on 10 January. Subtracting 13 hours from this gives the GMT time of 0852 on 10 January. 3) The other options are incorrect because they do not properly account for the 13-hour time difference between the local zone and GMT. 4) Therefore, the correct answer is B) 0852, 10 January.
