What is the most practical reason for keeping one standard time across India despite its east-west extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To maintain uniformity in administration, railways, communication and daily work

Local solar time changes with longitude: places farther east experience sunrise and noon earlier than places farther west. India has a considerable east-west span, so many local times could theoretically exist. A single standard time, based on the Standard Meridian of India, provides one common clock for administration, railway and flight schedules, communication, commerce, schools and public activities. Option A identifies this practical need for coordination. Option B is meaningless, because standard time does not stop the passage of time. Option C confuses longitude with latitude, and option D has no connection with timekeeping. Therefore A is correct.
