Question

can any one plz plz help me out here?

Answer 1

UTC+5 is the timezone for:

    * Pakistan Standard Time

    * West Asia Standard Time.

    * Yekaterinburg Time in Russia

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is in the same time zone as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Consider UTC a universal baseline -

UTC uses a 24-hour system of time notation. "1:00 a.m." in UTC is expressed as 0100, pronounced "zero one hundred."

To convert UTC to local time, you have to add or subtract hours from it. For persons west of the zero meridian to the international date line (which includes all of North America), hours are subtracted from UTC to convert to local time. Below is a table showing the number of hours to subtract from local time zones in North America in order to convert UTC to local time:

For the US Local Time Subtract from UTC:

Atlantic Standard

Eastern Standard

Answer 2

UTC + 5.0 means to add five hours onto the time in London.  If it is noon in London, then in that time zone it is 5:00 PM.  That would be about 75 degrees east of England which is about where Pakistan would be.

Eastern Time zone is UTC - 5.0, subtract five hours.  6AM in London is 1AM in New York (Standard time), or 2AM (Saving time).

Answer 3

1 hour corresponds to 15 degrees of longitude, so UTC + 5.0 is about 75 degrees east of London, which puts it somewhere near Kazakhstan, Pakistan and the Maldives.
