Question

Give two reasons for choosing 82.30 degrees E longitude as the Standard Meridian
of India.​

Answer 1

Answer:

because the longitudinal extent of India is 68 degree 7 east to 97 degree 25 east .this meridian passes through mirzapur which is the centre of India and there is a understanding between the countries of world that the degrees of the meridian should be divisible 7 1/2 .this enable us to overcome the differences of two hours of the time between arunachal pardesh and Gujarat. the time is Indian standard time.
