Most of India lies north of which line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Tropic of Cancer

The governing concept is the use of important parallels to describe India's latitudinal position. The Tropic of Cancer is located at approximately 23°30′N and passes across the middle of India. Consequently, most of the country lies north of this line, while a smaller southern portion lies south of it. Option A is correct. The Tropic of Capricorn is at 23°30′S and is far south of India, so option B is incorrect. The Equator is at 0° latitude and lies south of the whole Indian mainland, making option C unsuitable. The Greenwich Meridian is a longitude at 0°, not a latitude line, so option D confuses the two coordinate systems.
