Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Tropic of Cancer (23° 30'N) is a significant latitudinal line that divides India into almost two equal parts. It passes through eight Indian states: Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura, and Mizoram [2]. Geographically, it enters India through the Rann of Kuchchh in Gujarat and exits through Mizoram in the east [1]. While it passes through the central and eastern states like Jharkhand and West Bengal [2], it does not pass through Manipur. Manipur is located to the north of the Tropic of Cancer's path in Northeast India, whereas the line specifically traverses the neighboring states of Tripura and Mizoram [2]. Therefore, among the given options, Manipur is the state through which the Tropic of Cancer does not pass.
