Detailed Solution

The Standard Meridian runs through Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh. India is a large country. The mainland stretches between latitudes 8°4'N and 37°6'N, and longitudes 68°7'E and 97°25'E, and is wholly located in the Northern Hemisphere. The Tropic of Cancer (23° 30'N) divides the country longitudinally into nearly two equal sections. A two-hour time gap exists from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh. As a result, the time along India's Standard Meridian (82°30'E), which passes through Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh), is used as the country's standard time.
