In India's location, what does 23°30′N represent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Tropic of Cancer

Correct answer: A, the Tropic of Cancer. The notation 23°30′N contains two important clues. The degree value and minutes show an angle, while N means north latitude. A line at about 23°30′ north latitude is the Tropic of Cancer, and it crosses the middle part of India. The Standard Meridian of India is a longitude of 82°30′E, so it runs north–south and is related to Indian Standard Time. The Prime Meridian is 0° longitude and passes through Greenwich. The International Date Line is approximately 180° longitude and is not represented by 23°30′N. Therefore option A is correct. Option B is wrong because the Standard Meridian uses east longitude, not north latitude. Option C is wrong because the Prime Meridian is 0° longitude. Option D is wrong because the Date Line is near 180° longitude. Memory cue: 23°30′N = Tropic of Cancer; 82°30′E = India’s Standard Meridian.
