Answer 2

The length of the considered flight in terms of time is given by: Option C. 9 hours, 45 minutes

What is local time?

Local time refers to the time of a particular region. The term local refers that whoever is noticing the time and calling it local time means that the person is telling about the time of the place where they're currently staying.

For this case, we're provided that:

When its 8:00 a.m. Damascus it its 4:00 pm in Vladivostok, so the time in Vladivostok is 8 hours ahead of Damascus (or 16 hours behind).

Assuming its 8 hours ahead, as the plane departs from 10:45 am from Vladivostok, and lands in Damascus at 12:30 pm, so 12:30 pm + 8 hours gives 8:30 pm in Vladivostok.

So, the plane departed at 10:45 am of Vladivostok and lands at 8:30 pm in Vladivostok, so it took 9 hours and 45 minutes for his flight to go from Vladivostok to Damascus. (since difference between 8:30 pm and 10:30 am (from 10:30 am to 8:30 pm) is of 9 hours 45 minutes)

Thus, the length of the considered flight in terms of time is given by: Option C. 9 hours, 45 minutes
