Name the eastern most point of india

Hint: This is located in Arunachal Pradesh province.The longitudinal scale of India is 30’. The easternmost point of India is 2 hours ahead of the western point. Complete answer: Longitude is the angular distance of a point measured on the surface of the earth to the east/west of the central reference point. The eastern longitude is 97o25'E and the western longitude is 68 degrees 7'E. Thus, India's easternmost point will be 2 hours ahead of the western point. India ranges from 8 degrees 4 minutes on the north to 37 degrees 6 minutes north latitude and 68 degrees 7 minutes east side to 97 degrees 25 minutes east longitude. Thus, its latitudinal and longitudinal extent is roughly thirty degrees. The options given are as follows:- The easternmost longitude of India is 97° 25′ E. It's based in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. Thus, Option A is correct. The westernmost longitude is 68o7'E. The westernmost longitude of India is situated in Gujarat i.e. the Kutch area . Thus, Option B is incorrect. 97° 25′ E is the easternmost longitude of India and not 77 6’E. Thus, Option C is incorrect. The easternmost longitude of the nation is said to be 97° 25′ E and not 82 32’E. The standard time meridian of India is 82 30' East longitude as it travels through the centre of India i.e. Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh. Thus, Option D is incorrect. Hence the correct answer is option A. Note:The southernmost point of the Indian Territories (in the Great Nicobar Islands) is the Indira Point (6o45' Nor...

Names, Location, Extent and Space Relations of India Introduction: India has been known by various names during different periods of history. In the ancient times, it was known by the name ‘Aryavrata’. Later on it started being known as Bharat, Hindustan and India. The Indian Ocean is so named after the name of our country. It is the only ocean in the world which has been named after a country. The Constitution of India accepts only two names of the country-Bharat or India. India lies wholly in the northern hemisphere. The Indian mainland extends between latitudes 8° 4º north and 37° 6′ north, and longitudes 68° 7′ east and 97° 25′ east. The maximum stretch of the country from north to south is 3,214 km, and from east to west is 2,933 km. The latitudinal extent of our country covers about one-third of the angular distance from equator to the North Pole and the longitudinal extent is equal to about 1/12th of the length of equator. The northern-most point of Indian mainland lies in Jammu and Kashmir and the southern-most point is near Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu. The southern-most point of the country as a whole, including the islands, is in the Great Nicobar island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal. This point is now called Indira Point. This is located at 6°45′ north latitude. The western-most point of the country lies in the salty marsh of the Rann of Kachchh in Gujarat, and the eastern-most point in Arunachal Pradesh. The latitudinal and longitudinal ...
