Question
Arun called his mother from Digboi at 7 am. At what local time will his mother pick up his call at Jaisalmer?
Advertisements
Solution
Both Digboi (Assam) and Jaisalmer (Rajasthan) follow the same time zone, Indian Standard Time (IST).
Although Digboi is located much farther east than Jaisalmer and experiences sunrise earlier, India uses a single standard time throughout the country.
Therefore, if Arun called his mother from Digboi at 7:00 a.m., his mother in Jaisalmer would receive the call at 7:00 a.m. IST.
