Hi Pushpa, let's solve this interesting flight time problem together. We need to find the landing time in London by accounting for the flight duration and the time zone difference.
Flight Calculation: Chennai to London
First, let's list the information given in the problem.
Given Data:
- Departure (Chennai): Sunday, 23:30 hours
- Flight Duration: 11 hours
- Time Difference: Chennai is 4.5 hours ahead of London
To find the landing time in London, let's first calculate the landing time in Chennai's local time.
Step 1: Landing time in Chennai Time
Adding eleven hours to eleven thirty P M takes us past midnight. Adding thirty minutes gets us to midnight, leaving ten hours and thirty minutes.
So, when the plane lands, it will be ten thirty in the morning on Monday in Chennai.
Now, we need to convert this to London time. The problem states that Chennai is four and a half hours ahead of London.
Step 2: Convert to London Time
Since Chennai is ahead, we must subtract the time difference from Chennai time.
So, London time equals Chennai time minus four hours and thirty minutes.
