In which case is India's geographical location linked with the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When latitudes are north and longitudes are east

The governing concept is the coordinate-based division of Earth into hemispheres. The Equator separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, while the Prime Meridian separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. India lies north of the Equator, approximately between 8°4′N and 37°6′N, and east of the Prime Meridian, approximately between 68°7′E and 97°25′E. It is therefore located in both the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres. Option A states the required coordinate condition. Option B describes the opposite hemispheres, while maritime boundary and percentage area do not determine hemispheric location. Latitude indicates north or south; longitude indicates east or west.
