Ans 1=India is a vast country. Lying entirely in the Northern hemisphere (Figure 1.1) the main land extends between latitudes 8°4'N and 37°6'N and longitudes 68°7'E and 97°25'E.

Ans 2=Hence, time along the Standard Meridian of India (82°30'E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for the whole country.

Ans 3=India has 15,106 kilometers of land borders and a coastline of about 7,516 kilometers. Only 5 out of 29 Indian states have no international border or coastal line. Those long borders are shared with seven countries — China, Pakistan, Bhutan, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bangladesh.

  1. Ans: India lies completely in the Northern Hemisphere. The Indian mainland stretches between 8° 4'N latitude in the south and 37° 6'N latitude in the north. The longitudinal extent is 68° 7'E in the west and 97° 25'E in the east.
  2. Ans: Time at any particular place is calculated on the basis of the longitudinal extent of that place. Since India has a vast longitudinal extent, 8212 degrees has been chosen as the standard meridian of India. It has been done because of the centrality of longitude. The local time at the standard meridian is known as Indian Standard Time.

• Pakistan Afghanistan
