Answer: The Longitudinal extent of India is 68* 7' 53" E to 97* 24' 47" E.
82*30" E has been taken as the standard meridian of India. This is because as each longitude has a difference of 4 min. it would be difficult for the country to co-operate with other states. That's why a common time is taken for the whole country.
