Answer 1

Answer:

a.

Vladivostok is three hours ahead of Bangkok.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time the train left Bangkok is 1:50am

It traveled for 16 hours 40 minutes.

If the train was to be in Bangkok.

The Time Will be 1+16 hours then 50+40 minutes

Which is 17 hours + 1 hour 30 minutes

Which is 18 hours and 30 minutes

And 18 hours = 6:00 pm

So if it was in Bangkok the time with be 6:30 pm

But in Vladivostok, it was 9:30 pm

It's clear that Vladivostok time is faster by 3 hours
