Answer:

Arunachal Pradesh and Gujarat are the easternmost and westernmost State's.

Explanation

The eastern most longitude is 97degree25 east in arunachal pradesh.

The western most longitude of india is 68 degree 7 east in gujarat.

There is a difference of 4 mins between 2 consecutive longitudes. So difference between 30 longitudes is 30 multiplied by 4 =120 min or 2 hrs.
