The longitudinal extent of India is 30 degrees. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. It takes 4minutes for the sun to move across 1 longitude. Thus the eastern most point of India would be 2 hours ahead of the western most point (30X4=120 minutes) , in accordance with the local time. This difference in time might create confusion in air and rail timings and so many other things across the two states. To avoid this confusion a longitude passing through the mid point of 68 degrees 7 minutes (western most longitude) and 97 degrees 25 minutes (eastern most longitude) is taken as the standard prime meridian ofIndia. The time at the standard meridian 82 degrees 30 minutes which passes through Mirzapur in UP is taken as the standard time of India , followed all over the country.

What is the boiling point at 7000 feet?
Yes. The boiling point of the water goes down. Because there is less pressure up that high, you don't have to reach 100 degrees Celsius (or 212 degrees Fahrenheit). At 7000 ft, the standard barometric pressure is 23.088 inches Hg, and so water boils at 199.3 degrees Fahrenheit or 199.3 °F, which is equal to 92.94 degrees Celsius, or 92.94 °C. However, the pressure at 7000 feet will not always be exactly 23.088 in Hg (for instance, if a weather pattern changes the barometric pressure). For more detailed information, see the Related Question to the left of this answer.
