Q92 (NDA-I/2023) Geography › Maps & Locations Official Key

Which one among the following is the northernmost geographical location ?

Explanation

To determine the northernmost location, we must compare the latitudes of the four capital cities. The northernmost point is the one with the highest numerical latitude value.

  • New Delhi (India): Approximately 28.61° N
  • Kathmandu (Nepal): Approximately 27.71° N
  • Thimphu (Bhutan): Approximately 27.47° N
  • Dhaka (Bangladesh): Approximately 23.81° N

Comparing these coordinates, New Delhi is situated at the highest latitude (28.61° N), making it the northernmost geographical location among the given options. While Nepal and Bhutan are often perceived as being further north due to their Himalayan terrain, New Delhi actually lies further north than both Kathmandu and Thimphu. Dhaka, being closest to the Tropic of Cancer, is the southernmost among the four.
