The Tropic of Cancer passes through how many States of India?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N latitude) passes through eight states in India. From west to east, these states are:

  • Gujarat
  • Rajasthan
  • Madhya Pradesh
  • Chhattisgarh
  • Jharkhand
  • West Bengal
  • Tripura
  • Mizoram

The Tropic of Cancer divides the Indian landmass into almost two equal halves. Among the state capitals, Ranchi (Jharkhand) is located closest to the Tropic of Cancer. It is also noteworthy that the Mahi River is the only river in India that crosses the Tropic of Cancer twice, first in Madhya Pradesh and then in Gujarat.
