India's Standard Meridian passes near which city?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mirzapur

The direct answer is A: Mirzapur. India’s Standard Meridian is 82°30′E longitude. A standard meridian is a selected longitude used to calculate one common standard time for a country or region. The 82°30′E meridian passes near Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh, and it is used for Indian Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30. The reasoning is: identify India’s standard longitude as 82°30′E, locate the city near that longitude, and select Mirzapur. Option A is correct. Option B, Mumbai, is much farther west and is associated with a different longitude. Option C, Jaipur, also lies west of the Standard Meridian and is not the reference city. Option D, Kolkata, lies considerably east of it. The standard meridian is not the same as every city’s local noon; it provides one national time reference. Memory cue: 82°30′E and Mirzapur go together.
