Explanation by: Admin

The Indian Standard Time (IST) is based on the 82.5° East longitude, which passes near the cities of Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh) and extends through parts of Andhra Pradesh (near Kakinanda) and Puducherry (Pondicherry).

  • Therefore, the cities that lie close to the reference longitude (82.5° E) used for IST are Kakinanda and Pondicherry.

Hence, option (C) is correct.
