Question

why have we adopted a particular longitude as our standard meridian ? give three reasons

Answer 1

we adopted a particular longitude as our standard meridian for these reasons :-(1.) On account of the vast longitudinal extent of india there is a time lag of 2 hours in the local time between its western and easter limits. (2). Hence, for the sake of convenience, a standard time is adopted for the entire country. (3.) The central meridian of the country, 82.30°E longitude has been selected as the standard meridian for India.

Answer 2

Answer:bcoz in India there is a lot of time lag

And we also know that meridian is only one which makes the time equal

But in other countries the time is faster than India

Thus we use the standerd meridian
