Answer:
♧)The sunrises 2 hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh than in Gujarat.
♧) This leads to a time gap of 2 hours between the two states.
♧) To avoid this confusion a Standard time has been taken as reference to the whole country.
♧) The longitude 83°30' east has been chosen as the standard time for the whole country.
♧) As it passes through the middle of country it is being accepted as the Indian Standard Time.

Answer:
From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a time lag of two hours. Hence, time along the Standard Meridian of India (82° 30' E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for the whole country.
