Answer
The difference in longitude between 0° and place A is 30° towards east.
Since, for every 1° difference in longitude the difference of time is 4 minutes.
Therefore, the local time of place A will be 30 x 4 = 120 minutes = 2hrs.
As, A is located to the east, it will be 2 hours ahead of Greenwich time: 12 + 2 = 14hr or 2 pm.
Therefore time at place A will be 2 pm.
