Answer 2

Answer:

No, The ‘Standard meridian of India’ touches Sri Lanka.

Explanation:

• The meridian used to calculate standard time.
• The “Standard meridians” are those passing throughout most of the world whose lengths are precisely divisible by 15 °.
• A map projection meridian along that the scale of meridians is as stated.

• We need a “normal meridian for India” because ‘Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh’ are having a time lag of about ‘2 hours’.
• India had adopted a ‘standard meridian of 82 degrees’, 30 E and which passes through ‘Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh’ to avoid the confusion of time in the different states.
