Explanation:

What is the locational extent of India?

$\huge{\underline{\blue{\mathfrak{♡Answer♡}}}}$

The mainland of India extends between 8°4′ and 37°6′ N latitude and 68°7′ and 97°25′ E longitude. The Tropic of Cancer 23°30′ N divides India into almost two halves.

State the effect of East-West extent of India on time.

$\huge{\underline{\red{\mathfrak{♡Answer♡}}}}$

The west to east extent leads to the difference in local time from meridian to meridian The local time changes by four minutes for every one degree of longitude. The sun rises two hours earlier in the east i.e., Arunachal Pradesh than in the west i.e., Gujarat. Its time is taken as the standard throughout the country.
