Answer 2

Answer:

From the longitudinal extent of India it is observed that the longest experience is about 30 degree from west to east .This means that there would be a time lag of 2 horse approximately from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh. To avoid such differences in local time, Indian standard time has been fixed to give the whole country uniform time.The local time of the Standard Meridian of 82 degree 30E, is is observed at the standard time by the whole country .Because of this reason we find that the sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat in the West but the watches shows the same time.
