This is in contrast to the troposphere near the EarthтАЩs surface, which is cooler higher up and warmer farther down.
Commercial airlines typically cruise at altitude of 9-12km (30000-39000ft) in temperate latitudes in the lower reaches of the stratosphere).
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. Indian Standard Time is calculated on the basis of 82.5┬░ or 82┬░ 30┬░ E longitude, from a clock tower in Mirzapur (25.15┬░ N 82┬░.58┬░ E) (near Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh) which is nearly on the corresponding longitude reference line.
