INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Tropic of Cancer, the 23 degree and 30 minutes North latitude passes through the middle of the country. This imaginary line divides India into two halves-the Northern and the Southern.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Tropic of Cancer-the 23⁰ and 30’ N latitude, divides India into two almost equal halves.

Detailed explanation-3: -India is divided into two halves by the Tropic of Cancer at 23°30′ N latitude. The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line present above the Equator at 23.5 degrees latitude. It is also known as the Northern Tropic.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tropic of Cancer divides India into almost two equal parts. Tropic of Cancer is the northerly circle of the latitude on the Earth at an angle of 23.43 degrees north to the equator, at which the Sun appears to be directly overhead at its culmination. It is also called as the Northern Tropic.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Tropic of Cancer passes almost through the middle of the country and divides it in two halves: the tropical zone in the south and subtropical in the north. Hence, the correct answer is option (A). Note:India lies strategically at the head of the Indian Ocean, at the centre of the Eastern hemisphere.
