The earth moves [rotation and revolution] around its axis through 360° in 24 
hours. Thus, a difference of 1° longitude will make a difference of 4 minutes in 
time. 
Therefore the difference of local time between western-most point and eastern-
most point is 30 x 4 = 120 minutes or 2 hours. 
DATA 
India’s longest border is with BANGLADESH while the shortest border is 
with AFGHANISTAN.
