Answer:

82.30'E has been taken as the standard meridian of India because this longitude passes through the middle of the country. This balances the time gap of 2hrs between the westernmost and the easternmost of India.

Answer 2

Answer:

The local time at this Meridian has been accepted as the Indian Standard Time (IST) throughout the country because it passes through the middle of the country. It has helped to avoid a lot of confusion which would have been there by following different local times or in absence of a uniform time

From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a time lag of two hours. 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.
