What is the longitude of the geographical position of a body whose Greenwich hour angle is 210°30'?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 149°30'E

Geographical position longitude equals Greenwich Hour Angle when GHA is less than 180° west; if GHA exceeds 180°, subtract it from 360° to find East longitude: 360° - 210°30' = 149°30'E.
