Which line divides India into nearly two equal parts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Tropic of Cancer

The Tropic of Cancer is a major latitude at approximately 23°30′ north. It passes across India from west to east and is conventionally described in school geography as dividing the country into nearly two equal parts, with a larger northern portion and a smaller southern portion. It also helps explain India’s position across tropical and subtropical regions. Option A is therefore correct. The Equator lies at 0° latitude and does not pass through India. The Tropic of Capricorn lies in the Southern Hemisphere, far south of India. The Prime Meridian is a longitude passing through Greenwich and is not the latitude line that crosses India in this way. Recognising the difference between latitude and longitude also helps eliminate the final distractor.
