Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
India's easternmost longitude is 97° 25' E. It is situated in Arunachal Pradesh. 68°7'E is the westernmost longitude. There may be significant discrepancies in local time between locations at two extreme points of India due to the large longitudinal extent of east-west endpoints at roughly 29°. As a result, there would be a two-hour delay between these two points. Different locations have different local times. For example, the local times of Dibrugarh in Assam and Dwarka in Gujarat differ by approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes in India. As a result, the local time of a country's central meridian must be adopted as the nation's standard time.
The correct statement would be The easternmost longitude of India is 97°25'E in Arunachal Pradesh.
