In which hemisphere is India located?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Northern and Eastern

India is located north of the Equator and east of the Prime Meridian. Its mainland extends approximately from 8°4′ N to 37°6′ N, so all of it lies in the Northern Hemisphere. Its longitudes extend approximately from 68°7′ E to 97°25′ E, placing it in the Eastern Hemisphere. Hence option A, Northern and Eastern, is correct. Options B and D incorrectly place India south of the Equator, while option C combines the correct northern position with the wrong western position. The governing method is simple: use latitude to identify north or south of the Equator and longitude to identify east or west of the Prime Meridian.
