Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
The International Date Line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth.
It is located halfway around the world from the prime meridian—the zero degrees longitude established in Greenwich, England, in 1852. Alaska is in west and Siberia is in East, so date of Siberia is ahead of date of Alaska.
