Dear Student,
The correct answer to this question is C) 7.44 AM. Dibrugarh in Assam and Dwaraka in Gujarat have approximately had a time difference of 1 hour 45 minutes. Also there have approximately 2 hours time difference from western-most state Gujarat to eastern-most state Arunachal pradesh. To overcome this contrasting time difference, 82°30' E longitude is taken as standard meridian of India which passes through the middle of India. As per this longitude, India have uniform time across all parts of India irrespective of location. However, local time have time difference across the regions in India.
