Solution

Dear Student,
Answer to your question is as follows :

In order to avoid the difficulty in selecting the longitudes at the eastern or western ends as Standard meridians and to have a uniform time across the country 82 30 E has been chosen as the Standard Meridian as it passes through the middle of India reducing such differences.
