Answer:
The most important longitude of our country India is 82 ½ degree because it is the Indian Standard Meridian which passes through Allahabad and Chennai. It is very important because the time in India is determined ONLY by this particular meridian. It determines the Indian standard time, Every country has its own standard time. The Indian standard time is determined by 82 and ½ degree E longitude. Therefore this is of utmost importance to India. If we add 5 hrs and 30 minutes to UTC or the coordinated universal time we will get the IST. The latitude mentioned is of Mirzapur a place in Uttar Pradesh which is nearest to the corresponding line.
