Answer:

12:52 p.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines of longitude are imaginary lines running from north pole to south pole. This lines are west or east of prime meridian. The lines of longitude are used to determine the local time. Also, the lines of longitude along with the lines of latitude are used to determine the exact location of a place.

Given that at point A(82°E), the time is 1 p.m., Point B is at 80°E.

Difference in degrees between point A and B = 80° - 82° = -2°

1° = 4 minutes, hence 2° = 8 minutes

Therefore point B is 8 minutes behind of point A. The time at place B is 12:52 p.m.
