GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon when the moon appears “half full.” They are about 20% lower than the normal tide.

Detailed explanation-2: -The neap tides occur when there is a right angle between the sun and the moon hence the gravitational pull at this point is the weakest on the earth. Therefore we will draw the diagram of the moon at different positions with respect to the earth and accordingly classify the moon from the options provided.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neap tides are tides occurring in the first and third quarters of the Moon’s movement. Neap tides are tides occurring in the second and fourth quarters of the Moon’s movement.
