Answer:

Correct answer is that they are the same distance from the prime meridian.

Explanation:

The answer above is correct because prime meridian longitude is defined as 0 degrees. Therefore, it doesn't matter if we go towards the east or the west, if the numbers are the same it means that they are at the same distance from the prime meridian.
