you might have seen the world map.America will be in the left hand corner, Japan will be on the right hand corner and India will be in the middle. If an American (from America) and an Indian (from India) start at the same time who will reach Japan first?
First It depends from where in America some one starts! Even then I believe the America will reach first, because the map is flat while the earth is round. So the western coast of America is closer to Japan than India is.
for our viewing convenience the whole of the world is shown on a rectangular paper called map. But, in reality, america and japan are very very close to each other in relation to india. For forming the globe the left and right extremes of the map are to be brought together. Pl. Imagine that and you will arrive at the right answer. Hence the american will reach japan first. Anyhow, thank you for your response. With greetings,
