Which basis is correct for describing India in the Northern and Eastern hemispheres?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India's latitudes are north and longitudes are east

The governing concept is the use of latitude and longitude to identify hemispheres. India lies approximately between 8°4′ N and 37°6′ N latitudes, so every part of the mainland is north of the Equator and belongs to the Northern Hemisphere. It lies approximately between 68°7′ E and 97°25′ E longitudes, so it is east of the Prime Meridian and belongs to the Eastern Hemisphere. Hence option A is correct. Option B reverses both directions. Option C is false because India is not located only on 0° latitude, and option D is false because India is not on the Prime Meridian.
