Why is the study of India's east-west extent useful administratively?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It explains the need for time uniformity and communication system

The governing concept is the relationship between longitude and local time. Earth rotates 360° in about 24 hours, so places separated by longitude experience different local times; the approximate difference is four minutes for every degree of longitude. India’s broad east–west extent could therefore create noticeable local-time differences. A common Standard Time supports coordinated railway schedules, broadcasting, offices, schools, markets, communication and national administration. Option A is correct because it links spatial extent with the practical need for temporal uniformity and communication coordination. Options B, C and D describe unrelated or impossible effects: extent does not erase area, homogenise languages or convert a coastline into a land boundary.
