Question

The southernmost point of peninsular India, that is, Kanyakumari, is:

• A. North of Tropic of Cancer
• B. South of Equator
• C. North of Equator
• D. South of Capricorn

Hint:

Remember that the entire sovereign country of India lies strictly inside the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, every single location on the Indian mainland—no matter how far south it is positioned—must be situated North of the Equator (\(0^\circ\)).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Kanyakumari lies at approximately $8^{\circ}N$ latitude, placing it north of the Equator ($0^{\circ}$) and well south of the Tropic of Cancer ($23.5^{\circ}N$). Answer: North of Equator
