    The equivalent time for 1900 UMT is 7:00 p.m. UMT stands for Coordinated Universal Time, which is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. The question asks for the equivalent time, so we need to convert 1900 UMT to a standard 12-hour clock format. Since UMT is based on a 24-hour clock, 1900 UMT is equivalent to 7:00 p.m.
