Question

It is necessary to adopt a ‘Standard Time’ for the country.” Justify this statement.

Answer 1

Yes ofcourse

Standard time is the synchronization of clocks within a geographical area or region to a single time standard, rather than using solar time or a locally chosen meridian (longitude) to establish a local mean time standard. Generally, standard time agrees with the local mean time at some meridian that passes through the region, often near the center of the region. Historically, the concept was established during the 19th century to aid weather forecasting and train travel. Applied globally in the 20th century, the geographical areas became extended around evenly spaced meridians into time zones which (usually) centered on them.

Answer 2

Answer:

It is necessary to adopt a Standard time for a country because the local time of places that lie on the different meridians differ. It is, therefore, necessary to adopt the local time of some central meridian of a country as the standard time for the country for uniforms,some countries have adopted more than one standard time due to their great longitudinal extent. For example, in Russia, there are as many as eleven standard times.

The earth has been divided into twenty-four time zones of one hour each. Each zone thus covers 15° of longitude.
