Sunrise in easternmost Arunachal Pradesh occurs how many hours before sunrise in westernmost Gujarat?
Two hours
Two hours is correct.
India extends from about 68°7′E in westernmost Gujarat to about 97°25′E in easternmost Arunachal Pradesh, a spread of nearly 30° of longitude.
The Earth turns 1° of longitude every 4 minutes, so 30° corresponds to about 120 minutes.
Therefore the sun rises in eastern Arunachal Pradesh roughly two hours before it rises in western Gujarat, even though the whole country follows a single standard time.
