why do we need a standard meridian for india explain

Answers

Answered by markose07

If there was no standard meridian for India,the time would differ from state to state.
So this creates confusion among people.For example if a person starts from Gujarat at 10:00AM and he needs to reach Andra Pradesh by 5:00PM but due to time difference he may reach Andra Pradesh by 8:00PM or something.So to avoid this we have a standard meridian as 82 1/2°E.

we should use standered meredian only in india or the peoples will not understand the timings properly

pragyaa24: India has o large longitudinal expanse with time differing from 4 to 5 minutes for distance between each meredien. As a result we will have lots of confusion on what the time is. Therefore we refer to a single meridien.

radhakrishna1: ok
