If a place has a more easterly longitude in India, how will sunrise generally occur there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will occur earlier

The governing concept is Earth's west-to-east rotation and the resulting relationship between longitude and local solar time. As Earth rotates, eastern places turn toward the Sun before western places. Therefore, for two Indian locations on the same general date, the place with the more easterly longitude will generally experience sunrise earlier and its local solar time will be ahead. This does not mean every clock in the country shows a different official time, because India follows one standard time based on 82°30′ E. Option B is correct. Clouds or relief can affect visible conditions, but they do not change the basic longitude principle.
