On a summer day (mainland time UTC+1, Azores time UTC+0), a plane leaves Lisbon at 10:00 local time and the flight to Ponta Delgada takes 2 hours 30 minutes. What is the local time on arrival?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 11:30
- Step 1: Add the flight time: 10:00 + 2:30 = 12:30 on the mainland clock. Step 2. The Azores are one hour behind the mainland, so subtract one hour: 11:30. Answer: 11:30. Why not the others: 12:30 ignores the time difference, 13:30 adds it, and 10:30 drops the hours.
