To determine when viewers in Lagos (15°E time zone) watched the World Title Boxing contest that took place in New York (75°W time zone) between 21:30 and 22:30 hours on a Tuesday, we need to follow a series of steps to convert the time from New York's time zone to Lagos's time zone.
Step-by-Step Explanation
- Identify the Time Zones:
- New York is in the Eastern Time Zone, which is at 75°W. This is typically UTC-5 during Standard Time and UTC-4 during Daylight Saving Time. For this example, we will assume it is Standard Time (UTC-5).
-
Lagos is in the West Africa Time Zone, which is at 15°E. This is UTC+1.
-
Calculate the Time Difference:
- To find the time difference between New York and Lagos, we need to convert both time zones to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
- New York (UTC-5) means that when it is 21:30 in New York, it is:
[
21:30 + 5 \text{ hours} = 02:30 \text{ (next day, Wednesday) UTC}
]
-
Lagos (UTC+1) means that when it is 02:30 UTC, it is:
[
02:30 - 1 \text{ hour} = 01:30 \text{ (next day, Wednesday) in Lagos}
]
-
Convert the Contest Time:
- The boxing contest took place from 21:30 to 22:30 in New York on Tuesday. We already calculated that:
- 21:30 in New York is 02:30 UTC (Wednesday).
- 22:30 in New York is:
[
22:30 + 5 \text{ hours} = 03:30 \text{ (next day, Wednesday) UTC}
]
-
Therefore, the contest aired from 02:30 to 03:30 UTC on Wednesday.
-
Convert to Lagos Time:
- Now, we convert the UTC times to Lagos time:
- 02:30 UTC is:
[
02:30 - 1 \text{ hour} = 01:30 \text{ (Wednesday) in Lagos}
]
- 03:30 UTC is:
[
03:30 - 1 \text{ hour} = 02:30 \text{ (Wednesday) in Lagos}
]
-
Thus, viewers in Lagos watched the contest live from 01:30 to 02:30 on Wednesday.
-
Final Answer:
- The viewers in Lagos watched the contest live on Wednesday between 01:30 and 02:30 hours. However, the closest option provided is:
- A. Wednesday between 03:30 and 04:30 Hours. This option is incorrect based on our calculations, but it seems to be the only one that aligns with the time frame of the contest.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect
- Option B: Monday between 03:30 and 04:30 Hours:
-
This option is incorrect because it suggests a time on Monday, which is before the contest took place on Tuesday.
-
Option C: Tuesday between 15:30 and 16:30 Hours:
-
This option is incorrect because it suggests a time on Tuesday, which is not when the contest aired in Lagos. The contest aired on Wednesday in Lagos.
-
Option D: Tuesday between 21:30 and 22:30 Hours:
- This option is incorrect because it refers to the time of the contest in New York, not the time viewers in Lagos would see it.
Revision Summary
- New York is UTC-5, and Lagos is UTC+1.
- The boxing contest aired from 21:30 to 22:30 on Tuesday in New York.
- Convert New York time to UTC, then to Lagos time.
- Viewers in Lagos watched the contest live on Wednesday between 01:30 and 02:30 hours.
