Why is the Tropic of Cancer important in the study of India's size and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It divides India into nearly two parts

The governing geographical concept is the use of latitude to describe a country’s north-south location and extent. The Tropic of Cancer lies at approximately 23°30′ north latitude and crosses the central part of India. Because it passes near the middle of the country, it is commonly said to divide India into nearly two broad parts: a tropical region to the south and a subtropical region to the north. Therefore, option C is correct. The Tropic of Cancer does not measure coastline or land boundaries, because those are linear measurements. It also does not establish Indian Standard Time; that function belongs to the Standard Meridian at 82°30′ east longitude. Thus the distractors confuse latitude with boundary measurement or time determination.
