(a) India is a large country spanning over 30° of longitude. It is unusual in having a single time zone all over the country, 5 1/2 hours fast. If the direction of rotation of earth is reversed then Indian Standard Time will be – 5 1/2 hr. When it is noon the time is 12:00; that will be 6:30 A.M.in place of 17:30 P.M. or 5:30 P.M.
