Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line, at an angle of 23.50 degrees North from the Equator, that passes through roughly the middle of India. If you run this imaginary line around Earth, it passes through 17 countries, India being one of them. The Tropic of Cancer passes through eight states in India: Gujarat (Jasdan), Rajasthan (Kalinjarh), Madhya Pradesh (Shajapur), Chhattisgarh (Sonhat), Jharkhand (Lohardaga), West Bengal (Krishnanagar), Tripura (Udaipur) and Mizoram (Champhai) in that order. Hence option (b) is the correct answer. Mahi River is the only river in India that cuts the Tropic of Cancer twice, first in Madhya Pradesh from where it flows towards Rajasthan and enters Gujarat where it cuts for the second time. Udaipur in Tripura is the city nearest to the Tropic of Cancer.
