Answer 2

(a) The Tropic of Cancer 23½o

Explanation:

The Tropic of Cancer divides the country into almost two equal halves. Tropic of Cancer is the imaginary line at 23.5 degree North of the Equator. In India, the Tropic of Cancer passes through 8 states. They are Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Tripura and Mizoram. This line almost runs in the middle of the country and divides into two halves to the north and south of the imaginary line.
