${\huge\boxed { \sf{ \red{Answer}}}}$

India has a vast longitudinal extent. Since many meridians pa-ss through it, it is important to adopt the local time of one central meridian of a country as the standard time for the country. Thus, we need a standard meridian for the country. In India 82 ½ °E longitude determines the standard time.
