Which of the following latitudes passes through maximum number of Indian states?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The 24° N latitude passes through the maximum number of Indian states among the given options. While the Tropic of Cancer (approximately 23.5° N) is well-known for passing through 8 states—Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura, and Mizoram —the 24° N parallel follows a very similar path. It traverses 8 states: Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh (southern tip), Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Tripura. In contrast, the 20° N latitude passes through fewer states (Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha), and the 22° N latitude crosses approximately 6 states (Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal). The 26° N latitude primarily crosses Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and the Northeastern states, but covers fewer total states than the 24° N parallel.
