What is the basis for India's location in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Northern latitudes and eastern longitudes

The governing concept is hemispheric location determined by geographic coordinates. India lies north of the Equator, approximately between 8°4′N and 37°6′N, so it is in the Northern Hemisphere. It also lies east of the Prime Meridian, approximately between 68°7′E and 97°25′E, so it is in the Eastern Hemisphere. Hence option A correctly combines northern latitudes and eastern longitudes. Option B describes the opposite hemispheric combination. Coastline can describe maritime form but cannot establish a hemisphere, and an area percentage measures size rather than coordinate position. The answer must therefore use both latitude and longitude.
