Why is it necessary to study both the Tropic of Cancer and the Indian Standard Meridian in India's location?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: One shows latitudinal location and the other is linked with time setting

The direct answer is A. These two ideas are studied together because they describe different parts of India's geographical location. The Tropic of Cancer is a parallel of latitude at about 23.5° north; it tells how far north or south a place lies and passes across India. The Indian Standard Meridian is a line of longitude at 82°30′ east; it is used to establish Indian Standard Time for the whole country. Thus one gives latitudinal location and the other is linked with time setting. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because these lines do not decide maritime boundaries. Option C is wrong because India lies in the Eastern Hemisphere, not the Western Hemisphere, and the two lines do not perform that function. Option D is wrong because neither line is an island territory; both are imaginary reference lines on maps. Memory cue: latitude tells north-south position; longitude helps with east-west position and time.
