Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The Tropic of Cancer (latitude 23.5° N) passes through 14 districts of Madhya Pradesh: Ratlam, Ujjain, Agar Malwa, Rajgarh, Sehore, Bhopal, Vidisha, Raisen, Sagar, Damoh, Katni, Jabalpur, Umaria and Shahdol.
Among the given options, Ujjain, Vidisha and Bhopal all lie on the Tropic of Cancer. Indore is situated to the south of the Tropic of Cancer (around 22.7° N), so the line does not pass through it. Hence Indore is the correct answer.
