What is the southern latitude of mainland India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 8°4′N

The direct answer is A: 8°4′N. The southernmost latitude of mainland India is near Kanyakumari, and it is approximately 8°4′ north of the Equator. The word “mainland” matters: India’s island territories extend farther south, but they are not part of the mainland. The reasoning is: locate the southern tip of the mainland, identify Kanyakumari, and read its approximate latitude as 8°4′N. Option A is therefore correct. Option B, 6°45′N, refers approximately to the southern extent of India including the island region near Indira Point, not the mainland. Option C, 23°30′N, is the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer, which crosses central India, not its southern tip. Option D, 37°6′N, is near the northern extent of mainland India, not the southern extent. Exam cue: mainland south is 8°4′N; India including islands reaches farther south.
