We don't know does the question concern the local apparent time or the local mean time. Nevertheless, the difference between these times will be the same for two places. We also know that these places are situated in one time zone, so times of time zone will be the same. But local mean times will be different.

T2T1=λ2λ1,T_2-T_1 = \lambda_2 - \lambda_1, where λ\lambda is the longitude measured in hours. To transform longitude from degrees into hours, we should divide h by 15.

TSTM=λSλM=92157315=1915=1415T_S-T_M = \lambda_S - \lambda_M = \dfrac{92}{15} - \dfrac{73}{15} = \dfrac{19}{15} = 1\dfrac{4}{15} h, or 1 hour 16 minutes. Therefore, the time at Mumbai will be 12h1h16m=10h44m.12^h - 1^h16^m = 10^h44^m.
