Which latitude marks the southern limit of the Indian mainland?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 8°4′N

The key distinction is between the Indian mainland and the entire territory of India, which also includes islands. The southern limit of the continuous Indian mainland is approximately 8°4′N latitude, so option A is correct. The value 37°6′N is associated with the northern limit of the mainland. About 6°45′N refers to a location farther south in the island territory, especially the southern part of the Andaman and Nicobar group, and therefore is not the mainland boundary. The value 23°30′N is close to the Tropic of Cancer, an important latitude crossing India, but it is not the southern limit. Reading the word “mainland” carefully prevents confusion between continental India and its islands.
