{'greenwich mean time': [2, 1, 0, 1], 'indian standard time': [0, 0, 5, 2], 'gmt': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'time difference': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'hours': [7, 2, 16, 9], 'minutes': [0, 0, 1, 1]}
The correct answer is option 3: 5 hours 30 minutes. Indian Standard Time (IST) is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This means that when the time in GMT is 12:00 PM, the time in IST is 5:30 PM. Option 1, 7 hours 30 minutes, is incorrect as it overestimates the time difference. Option 2, 6 hours 30 minutes, is also incorrect as it underestimates the time difference. Option 4, 4 hours 30 minutes, is incorrect as it underestimates the time difference even more. It is important to remember that time differences can change due to factors such as daylight saving time, but typically the time difference between IST and GMT remains constant at 5 hours 30 minutes.
