Answers
The time difference between Greenwich Mean Time and Indian Standard Time is "+5:30 hours".
EXPLANATION:
The time difference between "Greenwich Mean Time and Indian Standard" Time is +5:30. It means that Indian Standard Time is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT.
Due to rotation of earth, period of entire earth cannot be same, so for convenience, we have divided the earth into several time zones and one such time zone is considered to be standard time period.
In this case, international standard tine is the GMT which passes through Greenwich Observatory in London and all countries lying in east of GMT will be ahead of it and the time zones of countries lying west of it would be behind GMT
As India lies east of GMT it is ahead of GMT by 5 hours and 30 minutes which means that when time will be 12 o clock noon in London, in India at same time it will be 5:30 pm evening.
