UPSC 2007: Which one of the following cities does NOT have the same clock time as that of the other cities at any given instant?
(a)London (UK)
(b)Lisbon (Portugal)
(c)Accra (Ghana)
(d)Addis Ababa (Ethiopia)
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Addis Ababa (Ethiopia)
London (UK) and Lisbon (Portugal) keep Western European Time (UTC + 0) and shift together to UTC + 1 in summer; Accra (Ghana) stays on GMT (UTC + 0) all year. Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) uses East Africa Time (UTC + 3) and never coincides with the others, so it is the city that does NOT share the same clock time.
