Which of the following represents the longitudinal extent of India?
Which of the following represents the longitudinal extent of India?
निम्नलिखित में से कौन – सा विकल्प, भारत की देशांतरीय विस्तार को निरुपित करता है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
68°7'E and 97°25'E/68°7'E और 97°25'E
📘 Explanation
The longitudinal extent of India refers to the east-west spread of the country. India lies between 68°7′ East longitude to 97°25′ East longitude.
- The westernmost point is in Gujarat.
- The easternmost point is in Arunachal Pradesh.
भारत का देशांतर विस्तार (पूर्व से पश्चिम तक) 68°7′ पूर्व देशांतर से 97°25′ पूर्व देशांतर तक है।
- पश्चिमी छोर गुजरात में है।
- पूर्वी छोर अरुणाचल प्रदेश में है।
⭐ Extra Important Facts (अतिरिक्त महत्वपूर्ण तथ्य)
1. Standard Meridian of India (मानक समय रेखा)
- India follows a single time zone based on 82°30′ E longitude.
- It passes near Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh).
👉 इसे Indian Standard Time (IST) निर्धारित करने के लिए उपयोग किया जाता है।
2. Time Difference (समय का अंतर)
- Due to wide longitudinal extent (~30°), there is a 2-hour time difference between eastern and western India.
- But India uses only one standard time for convenience.
👉 पूर्वी भारत (जैसे अरुणाचल) में सूरज जल्दी उगता है और पश्चिम (गुजरात) में देर से।
3. Latitudinal Extent (अक्षांश विस्तार) – Extra GK
- India lies between 8°4′ N to 37°6′ N latitude.
- Tropic of Cancer (23°30′ N) divides India into tropical and subtropical regions.
👉 Longitude = East-West (देशांतर = पूर्व-पश्चिम)
👉 Latitude = North-South (अक्षांश = उत्तर-दक्षिण)
