Answer

The difference in the time of both the longitudes is 15:00 hrs or 900 min.
The difference in longitudes will be 225° (900/4)
So the longitude will be 225° – 77° = 148°.
So the place will be to the west of New Delhi as New Delhi is ahead in time.
Thus, the longitude of a place where the local time is 6:00 a.m. will be 148° W.
