Q 19 / 42

UPSC CSE Prelims 2010

The latitudes that pass-through Sikkim also pass through:

EXPLANATION

Correct Option

Sikkim is situated approximately between 27° N and 28° N latitudes. This latitudinal range also traverses through parts of Rajasthan, particularly its northern and central regions. Despite their geographical separation on the eastern and western sides of India, both states share a similar latitudinal extent.

Incorrect Options

Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir are all located significantly north of Sikkim's latitudinal range, generally lying above 30° N latitude. Therefore, they do not share the same parallels of latitude as Sikkim.
