Answer:
hiiiii
your query is why 82 and half degree longitude is selected a the standard meridian of india
IT ALMOST PASSES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY
IT IS EXACTLY 5 HOURS 30 MINUTE AHEAD OF GMT
IT IS A MULTIPLE OF 7DEGREE 3MINUTES AS A GLOBE HAS 24 TIME ZONES EACH OF 15LONGITUDES SO LOCAL TIME IN EACH ZONE AT THE MIDDLE LONGITUDE(DIVIDED BY 7DEGREE 30 MINUTES) IS TAKEN AS STANDARD TIME
OR YOU CAN WRITE THE ANSWER IN THIS WAY ALSO
82DEGREE 30' E IS ALMOST THE MIDDLE MERIDIAN OF LONGITUDE OF INDIA
TO AVOID CONFUSION OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATION TIMINGS INDIA SELCTED THE STANDARD MERIDIAN
THE WESTERN MOST LONGITUDE 68DEGREE 7'E AND THE EASTERN MOST LONGITUDE 97DEGREE 25' E(ALMOST 30DEGREE LONGITUDES AWAY FROM EACH OTHER) THUS,THE DIFFERENCE IS OF TWO HOURS(4*30=120MINUTES OR 2 HOURS)
97 DEGREE- 68DEGREE= 29DEGREE
29DEGREE/2 = 14.5 DEGREE
14.5DEGREE+68DEGREE= 82.5 DEGREE EAST
SO THE LOCAL TIME OF 82DEGREE 30'E IS TAKEN AS STANDARD TIME THROUGHT THE COUNTRY AND ALL THE ATCHES IN THE COUNTRY RUN ACCORDING TO THE TIME OF 82DEGREE 30'E IT IS CALLED IST (INDIAN STANDARD TIME)

Answer:
we have chosen 82°1/2' E as our standard meridian because it almost passes through the middle of our country and it equally divides the nation. That's why we had chosen this time as standard because there can't be any chaos among people about the time. According to me it's a right way to solve any problem. Different local times causes many problems like communication between states, weather, transportation etc.
hope it will help you
