Solution

The correct option is D $5 \frac{1}{2}$ hours
Greenwich mean time refers to the time of 0-degree longitude while Indian standard time corresponds to 82.5 degrees.
1 degree = 4 minutes of time difference. Thus the total time difference is 4*82.5 = 330 minutes or 5 and a half hours. Option A is correct.
