It is 15:00 in Cyprus. Cyprus is two hours ahead of London in winter and three hours ahead of Greenwich in summer, as both change on the same dates. What time is it in London at that moment?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 13:00, in both winter and summer
- Step 1: Both Cyprus and the United Kingdom change their clocks at the same time of year. Step 2. In winter Cyprus is UTC+2 and London is UTC+0, and in summer they are UTC+3 and UTC+1, so the difference is always two hours: 15:00 minus 2 equals 13:00. Answer: 13:00. Why not the others: The other options use a wrong difference or add the hours instead of subtracting them.
