✓

Answer

The time difference between India and England is of 5.30 hours.
• If it is noon in England, it is 5.30 p.m. in India because time is ahead in India than in England by 5.30 hours.
• This can be calculated in the following manner :
      • Difference between 0° longitude and 82½ E longitude = 82½°
      • Time in the East is ahead by 4 minutes on passing every meridian
      • Hence time ahead 82½ x 4 = 330 minutes or 5.30 hours.
