Match Column-A with Column-B :
| Column-A | Column-B |
|---|---|
| (a) Tropic of Cancer | (i) 23½° in Southern Hemisphere |
| (b) Tropic of Capricorn | (ii) 23½° in Northern Hemisphere |
| (c) Arctic Circle | (iii) 66½° South of the Equator |
| (d) Antarctic Circle | (iv) 66½° North of the Equator |
Choose the correct option.
Answer: C
The correct matching is (a)-(ii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(iii).
| Line | Latitude |
|---|---|
| Tropic of Cancer | 23½° N |
| Tropic of Capricorn | 23½° S |
| Arctic Circle | 66½° N |
| Antarctic Circle | 66½° S |
The Tropic of Cancer lies 23½° north of the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn 23½° south of it. The Arctic Circle is 66½° north and the Antarctic Circle 66½° south.
The first option swaps both pairs of hemispheres, and the second and fourth mix up the tropics with the polar circles, so they are wrong.
