Greenwich Mean Time. Greenwich, just outside London, England sits on Longitude 0. All sea traffic took it's timing from Greenwich. Sir Sanford Fleming, a Canadian, proposed in 1878 that the world adopt a common system of time measurement focused on a central point. Consequently, there are 24 time zones around the world, 12 in advance and 12 after GMT. They were set as 1 hour intervals per 15 degrees of longitude. On large continents that rigidity is unfeasible, some states would be divided into 2 time zones. So for ease of management, congress sets the demarcation lines of the 5 US time zones. The 3 Australian time zones are similarly managed. Because the lines of longitude converge at the poles, the 24 time zones become as one. Therefore UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is used there.
The difference between GMT and IST is +5:30:05 hours.GMT is understood for Greenwich Mean Time, calculated in United Kingdom, Royal Observatory at Greenwich.IST is India Standard Time. Which is calculated in Allahabad observatory in Mirzapur (Uttar Pardesh) in India. Its Longitude is 82.5 degree East.
Pakistan time zone is calculated as follows: Local time (in Pakistan) = GMT + 5 HRS so: PST (Pakistan Standard Time) = 6:30 PM + 5:00 PST = 11:30 PM
10am EDT is 2pm GMT. The time difference between EDT and GMT is 4 hours, with GMT being ahead.
7pm MST is 2am GMT the following day. MST is 7 hours behind GMT.
GMT is the timezone in London, England. All other time zones are described relative to GMT. For example, New York is GMT - 5 hours. Los Angeles is GMT - 8 hours. Standard time is how we set our clocks when we are NOT observing Daylight Saving Time. Daylight Saving Time reduces the time-difference between your timezone and GMT by 1 hour. For example, When NYC observes DST, the timezone in NYC becomes GMT-4 (instead of the normal GMT-5)
Greenwich Mean Time. It is the time at Greenwich, near London in England, from which other time zones are calculated around the world. Times are either behind or ahead of GMT. New York is 5 hours behind GMT. So when it is midday in London, it is 7am in New York.

The easiest way to answer that question is to say that Hong Kong time is calculated as GMT plus 8 hours. In other words, if GMT is 1500 (3 PM), Hong Kong would be 8 hours later, or 2300 (11 PM). Now, all you need to know is what GMT is and you can figure out the time anywhere in the world.
