70% to pass

You are on a vessel at 0400 ZT on 3 July, and the ZD for your position is -8. What is the GMT?

A 2000, 3 July
B 2000, 2 July
C 1200, 2 July
D 1200, 3 July
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 2000, 2 July. To determine the GMT, we need to convert the local time (0400 ZT on 3 July) to GMT using the time zone difference (ZD = -8). Since the ZD is negative, we subtract 8 hours from the local time to get the GMT. 0400 ZT on 3 July becomes 2000 on 2 July. The other options are incorrect because: A) 2000, 3 July is incorrect as it does not account for the time zone difference. C) 1200, 2 July is incorrect as it does not account for the time zone difference. D) 1200, 3 July is incorrect as it does not account for the time zone difference.
