Question 1

Question 3The sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat in the west but the watches show the same time. How does this happen?

Accepted Answer

India lies between 68°7'E and 97°25'E, making a 28° difference from extreme west (Gujarat) to extreme east (Arunachal Pradesh) of the country. The Earth rotates 360° in 24 hours, i.e., it moves 1° in 4 minutes. Thus, for moving 28° the earth takes 28 x 4 i.e., about 2 hours. As a result, the Sun rises 2 hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh compared to Gujarat. However, both regions use the same time because they follow the standard time of India, which is set along the Standard meridian of India (82°30'E).

Question 2

Question 4The central location of India at the head of the Indian Ocean is considered of great significance. Why?

Accepted Answer

The Indian landmass has a central location between the east and the west Asia. The trans Indian ocean routes, which connect the countries of Europe in the west and the countries of east Asia, provide a strategic and significant central location to India. The Deccan Peninsula protrudes into the Indian ocean, thus helping India to establish close contact with west Asia, Africa and Europe from the western coast and with southeast and east Asia from eastern coast. Therefore, the central location of India at the head of the Indian Ocean is considered of great significance.
