APT "Could not resolve 'in.archive.ubuntu.com'"

If you can ping IP addresses but not domain names, you have a problem with your DNS. Adding the google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) to /etc/network/interfaces and restarting should solve your problem:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
. . .
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
