What is the correct meaning of 23°30′N in the context of India's location?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer

Correct answer: B, it is the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer. The symbol N means north, and 23°30′ is an angular measurement of latitude. The Tropic of Cancer is located at approximately 23°30′ north latitude and crosses India. It is therefore a parallel of latitude, not a meridian of longitude. Option A is wrong because India’s Standard Meridian is 82°30′E, selected for Indian Standard Time. Option C is wrong because an eastern longitude must be expressed with E, and 23°30′N is a north latitude. Option D is wrong because the option calls the value a longitude, while the N suffix clearly identifies latitude; it also does not give Indira Point’s longitude. Thus B is unambiguous. Memory cue: N or S tells latitude; E or W tells longitude. Specifically, 23°30′N is the Tropic of Cancer, while 82°30′E is India’s Standard Meridian.
