Question

What will happen if there is no standard meridian in India? Discuss its consequences.

Answer 1

Answer:

We need a standard meridian for India because there is a time lag of about 2 hours between Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh. To avoid confusion of time in different states , India adopted a standard meridian which is 82 degrees 30 E and it passes through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh

Answer 2

ANSWER:

If there is no standard meridian in India then there will be more confusion in "TIME" among people belonging to various states.

EXPLANATION:

• In a country like India, a standard Meridian is very important to have because India is a vast country and it stretches deep from north to south and East to West.
• A place like Arunachal Pradesh, where the sun rises two hours earlier than Bangalore in the south.
• So, to avoid the confusion among the citizens of our country it is very important to maintain a standard Meridian where the time throughout the country remains the same.
