The sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat ,but still the watches show the same time , because the time along The Standard Meridian of India ( taken to be 82° 30′ E ) passing through Mirzapur has been taken as the standard time across the country.

Answer:
The longitudinal gap between Arunachal Pradesh and Gujarat is about 30°. Due to this, there is time lag of about two hours between these states. Since Arunachal Pradesh is in the east, the sun rises earlier here compared to Gujarat. The Indian Standard Time is taken from the time of Standard Meridian of India and hence, the watches show the same time in both the states.
