Answer 2

Explanation:

The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the mainland is about 30 degree. From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a time lag of 2 hours. Hence to avoid confusion the time along the midpoint it the two place I.e., 82°30 E longitude, passing through mirzapur (in uttar pradesh) is taken as the standard meridian for the whole country.

A globe has 24 time zones, each of 15 longitudes. Local time in each zone at the middle longitude (divided by 7°30') is taken as standard time. As 82°30'E is divisible by 7°30', a standard by all countries, India selected this as the standard meridian of India.
