Which statement is correct in understanding the relation between India's mainland latitudinal extent and the Tropic of Cancer?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The Tropic of Cancer passes within India's latitudinal extent

The governing concept is the comparison of latitude values. India’s mainland extends approximately from 8°4′N in the south to 37°6′N in the north, whereas the Tropic of Cancer lies at about 23°30′N. Since 23°30′N falls between these two limits, the Tropic of Cancer crosses the mainland and divides it broadly into tropical and subtropical parts. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B confuses latitude with longitude, while options C and D incorrectly describe an imaginary line as a physical coastal or political boundary. The Tropic of Cancer is a parallel of latitude, not a boundary created by people.
