First you need to find out where the person lands in the USA. Then you need to find out the time difference between that part of USA (multiple time zone) and India (one time zone). And continue.......

Now please show us your work!

What would be the time in India when he lands in Washington, D.C.? (T1)

When it is T1 in India - what is the time in DC?

Given that New-Delhi-time is UTC + 5:30 and D.C.-time is UTC - 5:00, what is the time-difference between the two cities? :wink:
