Answer 1

Answer:

The sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat in the west but the watches show the same time. How does this happen? Answer: The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the mainland is about 30°. ... From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a time lag of two hours.

Answer 2

1) The local times of places which lie on different meridians are bound to differ.

2) The sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat in the west.

3) This causes a time loss of two hours from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh.

4) To avoid confusion due to time differences and to have a standard time for reference, the time along the meridian 82 30' E passing through Mirzapur in U.P. has been taken as the standard time for the entire country.

5) This is why the clocks show the same time.
