Answer 1

Answer:

The longitude of 82½° E (82° 30’E) is considered as the standard meridian.

Explanation:

In India, we find a difference of about 1 hour and 45 minutes in the local times of Dwarka in Gujarat and Dibrugarh in Assam. Hence, it is necessary to adopt the local time of some central meridian of a country as the standard time for the country. The longitude of 82½° E (82° 30’E) is considered as the standard meridian.
