Detailed Solution

The Standard Meridian of India passes through Mirzapur.
The Standard Meridian is the longitude used to calculate a country's standard time. A country has multiple latitudes and time zones. This is a problem when determining the time because the time varies depending on where people are. To alleviate this issue, the time at the standard meridian is considered a country's standard time. It is the same all around the country. The Indian Standard Meridian passes through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh at 82 degrees 30 minutes east. It runs across the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Chattisgarh.
