Recently Scientists at CSIR-NPL which maintains Indian Standard Time, have published a research article describing the necessity of two time zones, with the new one an hour ahead of the existing time zone. Choose the correct time zone. (B)

) 69°7'E to 97°45'E, with the spread of 29°
) 68°7'E to 97°25'E, with the spread of 29°
) 68°7'E to 97°45'E, with the spread of 29°
) 69°7'E to 97°25'E, with the spread of 29°

Correct Answer:


) 68°7'E to 97°25'E, with the spread of 29°

Description for Correct answer:
Over the years, various citizens and political leaders have debated whether India should have two separate time zones. The demand is based on the huge difference in daylight times between the country's longitudinal extremes, and the costs associated with following the same time zone.
