Answer 2

Due to the time lag of 2 hours, 30 longitudes in India,  passing through Mirzapur is  taken as the standard meridian for the country.

Explanation:

• It's due to the extension of the country that is of 30 degrees the sun has to travel distance of 4 minutes to complete the one degree of longitude which leads to the confusion in time reading of  the air and rail timings

• As to remove this obstruction the midpoint of  68°7' W and  97°25' E is taken as the Indian Standard time of the country  and is taken along the prime meridian i.e  82°30' that passes through the state Mirzapur in UP.
