What proves that India's longitudinal extent lies in the Eastern Hemisphere?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: All its longitudes are east

The correct answer is A. India extends approximately from 68°7′ E to 97°25′ E, so its longitudes are east of the Prime Meridian at Greenwich. This places India in the Eastern Hemisphere. The governing concept is that the Prime Meridian, or 0° longitude, divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres; locations with east longitudes generally lie in the Eastern Hemisphere. Option B refers to latitude and is also factually wrong because India is north of the Equator. Option C is incorrect because India is not located on 0° longitude. Option D is wrong because the Tropic of Capricorn is in the Southern Hemisphere, whereas India is crossed by the Tropic of Cancer.
