RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (31-Jan-2021) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

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.
