which one of the following cities does not have the same clock time as that of the other three cities at any given instant?
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
1. Clock time is determined by time zones, which are generally based on lines of longitude.
2. London (U.K) is on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) and typically observes GMT (or BST in summer).
3. Lisbon (Portugal) is also in the Western European Time Zone (WET), which is equivalent to GMT (UTC+0).
4. Accra (Ghana) is geographically close to the Prime Meridian and observes GMT (UTC+0) year-round.
5. Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) is located in East Africa, at roughly 38° East longitude. It observes East Africa Time (EAT), which is UTC+3.
6. Therefore, Addis Ababa does not have the same clock time as London, Lisbon, and Accra.
