Match the following:
| List I (Longitudes) | List II (Dates) |
|---|---|
| a. Prime Meridian | 1. 180° longitude |
| b. Tropic of Cancer | 2. 23½° N latitude |
| c. International Date Line | 3. 0° longitude |
| d. Arctic Circle | 4. 23½° S latitude |
| e. Tropic of Capricorn | 5. 66½° N latitude |
Answer: B
The correct code is a-3, b-2, c-1, d-5, e-4.
- The Prime Meridian is 0° longitude.
- The Tropic of Cancer is at 23½° N latitude.
- The International Date Line broadly follows 180° longitude.
- The Arctic Circle is at 66½° N latitude.
- The Tropic of Capricorn is at 23½° S latitude.
Three options start with a-3, so check the next column: only one pairs the Tropic of Cancer with 23½° N. The first option fails at once by putting the Prime Meridian at 23½° N.
