Standard Time is the convention where clocks within a geographical region are synchronized to a single time standard.
Each country defines its own Standard Time notified in the Air Almanac of its correction related to UTC.
Each country tries to fix 1200 ST to occur at half period of light and 2400 ST to occur half of period of darkness.

Universal Coordinated time (UTC) is the primary global standard time.
To avoid confusions with different time zones and daylight saving time, UTC is the time used in aviation for air traffic control services, clearances, flight plans and weather forecast.

The exercise states that the Standard Time at Ecuador = UTC - 5 h

ST Ecuador = 03º25’ - 5º = 22º25’ the day before
