Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Longitude is the angular distance of a point measured on the surface of the earth to the east/west of the central reference point. The eastern longitude is 97o25’E and the western longitude is 68 degrees 7’E. Thus, India’s easternmost point will be 2 hours ahead of the western point.
Detailed explanation-2: -The easternmost longitude of India is 97° 25′ E. It is located in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. The westernmost longitude is 68o7’E. Due to the great longitudinal extent of east-west ends about 29°, there could be wide differences in local time of places located at two extreme points of India.
