Answer 1

Answer:

82°30'E

Hence, time along the Standard Meridian of India (82°30'E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for the whole country. The latitudinal extent influences the duration of day and night, as one moves from south to north. Why 82°30'E has been selected as the Standard Meridian of India
