The latitudes that pass-through Sikkim also pass through?

  1. Rajasthan
  2. Punjab
  3. Himachal Pradesh
  4. Jammu and Kashmir

Explanation

Option (c) is correct
  • Sikkim lies approximately between 27° and 28° North latitude. These latitudes extend westward across northern India. When traced longitudinally across India:
  • Rajasthan lies further south.
  • Punjab lies slightly south of these latitudes.
  • Himachal Pradesh spans latitudes from about 30°N to just below 32°N, but its southern parts intersect the 31°N–30°N belt, overlapping with the latitude band passing through Sikkim when projected on a globe.
  • Jammu and Kashmir lies further north.
Answer: (c) Himachal Pradesh
