Question

the difference between IST and the GMT is 5 hours and 30 minutes give reason

Answer 1

The basic answer is Indian Standard Time is calculated on the basis of 82.5° E longitude, which is just west of the town of Mirzapur, near Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The longitude difference between Mirzapur and the United Kingdom's Royal Observatory at Greenwich translates to an exact time difference of 5 hours 30 minutes.

Answer 2

Hello bhai!

The distance between London and Mirzapur in degrees is 82.5 ° (approx)

We know that,

1° = 4 minutes

=> 82.5° = 4 × 82.5

= 330 minutes

= 5 hours 30 minutes

So,

The latitudinal distance between London and Mirzapur is the reason for difference in times.


Hope it will help you....
