Q19 (CISF/2024) Geography › Maps & Locations

Which one among the following cities in India is located at the Northernmost latitude?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

The northernmost latitude among the given cities can be determined by comparing their approximate geographical coordinates:

  • Sri Ganganagar (Rajasthan): Approximately 29.91° N
  • Nainital (Uttarakhand): Approximately 29.38° N
  • Gangtok (Sikkim): Approximately 27.33° N
  • Itanagar (Arunachal Pradesh): Approximately 27.08° N

Sri Ganganagar, located at the northern tip of Rajasthan near the border with Punjab, sits at a higher latitude than Nainital. Although Uttarakhand is a Himalayan state, Nainital is located in its southern Kumaon region. Gangtok and Itanagar, despite being in the Himalayas/North-East, are located significantly further south in terms of latitude. Therefore, Sri Ganganagar is the northernmost city among the choices provided.
