Question

why is 80°30' meridian has been selected as the standard meridian of india​

Answer 1

Hey mate.

Here is your answer.

The standard meridian of India is 82° 30 ' E.

There is a time gap of 2 hours from Gujrat to Arunachal Pradesh.

So a standard meridian has been selected to avoid the time difference.

If a standard meridian was not used then different places would have different timings.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

ANSWER

It has helped to avoid a lot of confusion which would have been there by following different local times or in absence of a uniform time. 82 degree 30 minutes is selected as standard meridian because it lies almost in center of the india. ... The Earth has been divided into 24 time zones of one hour each.
