Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of a place influences the duration of day and night. There is a time difference of two hours between the eastern and westernmost points of India. The country's easternmost point lies in Arunachal Pradesh, and the westernmost point lies in Gujarat. Since Arunachal Pradesh lies in the East, it receives sunlight much earlier than Gujarat. Gujarat is the only state that receives sunlight at last. There is a time difference of 120 minutes or two hours between these places. To avoid the problems created by the difference in time, IST or Indian Standard Time is considered. It is based on a longitude of 82 degrees, 5 minutes and passes through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh.
