Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Both the statements are correct.
-
The Peninsular region of India does not have any well-defined cold weather season – This is correct because the region is surrounded by seas on three sides and lies close to the equator, resulting in moderate temperatures throughout the year and no distinct winter like in northern India.
-
By the end of December (22 December), the Sun shines vertically over the Tropic of Capricorn – This is also correct. December 22 marks the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Capricorn, in the Southern Hemisphere.
