Which of the following is correctly linked with India's location and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India lies in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres

The correct answer is C. India lies north of the Equator, approximately between 8°4′ N and 37°6′ N on the mainland, so it is in the Northern Hemisphere. Its longitudes range roughly from 68°7′ E to 97°25′ E, placing it in the Eastern Hemisphere. The governing concept is that latitude determines the north–south hemisphere and longitude determines the east–west hemisphere. Option A reverses India’s longitudinal position. Option B is wrong because India is crossed by the Tropic of Cancer at about 23°30′ N, not the Tropic of Capricorn. Option D is geographically impossible because India is far from the South Pole. Both coordinate directions must be considered together to identify India’s location correctly.
