What is the benefit of keeping one standard time despite about two hours of local time difference between India's east and west extremes?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Uniformity remains in administration and communication

The governing concept is standard time: a country selects one reference meridian so that clocks and schedules follow a common official time. Earth rotates 360 degrees in about 24 hours, so 15 degrees of longitude corresponds to roughly one hour of time; India’s wide east-west extent therefore creates local-time differences. Using Indian Standard Time avoids separate official clocks for different regions and makes railway timetables, examinations, government work, broadcasting, banking and communication easier to coordinate. Option A is correct. Option B is false because longitudes remain real coordinates, while C and D have no connection with timekeeping.
