Question 89Navigation Problems

The correct answer is A) 1145. To determine the time of local apparent noon (LAN), we need to calculate the longitude difference between the vessel's position and the standard meridian of the time zone, and then use that to calculate the time difference from zone time to local apparent time. Given: - Vessel position: LAT 25°00.0'S, LONG 164°38.6'W - Course: 180°T - Speed: 10.0 knots The longitude difference between the vessel's position and the standard meridian of the time zone (which is 180°W for the zone time given) is 164°38.6'W. This corresponds to a time difference of 10 hours and 58 minutes, which, when subtracted from the zone time of 0930, results in a local apparent noon time of 1145. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the longitude difference and the resulting time difference from zone time to local apparent time.
