India lies on which side of the Prime Meridian?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: East

India lies to the east of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is the reference line at approximately 0° longitude, passing through Greenwich. Longitudes to its east are called eastern longitudes, and India extends roughly from 68°7′ E to 97°25′ E. Therefore, option A, east, is correct. The terms north and south describe latitude, not India’s position relative to the Prime Meridian. India is not west of this reference line because its longitudes are east longitudes.

To solve the question, first identify the type of line mentioned. The Prime Meridian is a longitude line, so the answer must describe an east–west position. India’s longitude values carry the letter E, showing that they are measured eastward from 0°. This places India in the Eastern Hemisphere. The country is north of the Equator as well, but that fact answers a different question. Thus, the correct choice here is option A.
