Explanation by: Admin
Indian Standard Time (IST) is based on the 82.5°E longitude, which passes through Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh.

This meridian is chosen as the standard time reference for the entire country.


Other Options Explained:

(A) 75.5°E longitude – Not used for IST.

(C) 90.5°E longitude – Closer to Northeast India but not the standard meridian.

(D) 0° longitude – Refers to the Prime Meridian (Greenwich, UK), not related to IST.


Thus, the correct answer is (B) 82.5°E longitude.
