Hey friend,
Here's your answer :
The longitudinal extent of India is 68°7' N to 97°25' E.
The landmass of India has an area of 3.28 million sq. km.
Implications -
1. The longitudinal extent affects the local time for different states in the country.
2. Since the Standard meridian passes from east to west and earth takes two hours to cover it therefore there is a time lag of two hours as we move from east to west.
3. For e.g. From Gujarat to Andhra Pradesh, we have a time difference of two hours.
Hope this helps!!!
