Recently, I came across a question: Which of the two cities(Banglore and Chennai) is more southwards with respect to their location on Map of India?
My obvious answer was Chennai (as any other person would have answered)
But to my surprise the correct answer was Bangalore.
Then in order to verify this fact I checked on GOOGLE and it turned out to be correct.
If you will see map of India then you will realize this fact:
To be more accurate/precise here are the details:
The correct Location of the two cities is as follows:
Chennai: 13° 04' North
Banglore: 12° 58' North
The concept of 13° 04' north will be clear if we consider equator as 0 (zero) degree and all the latitudes in northern hemisphere start from 0 degree upto 90 degree (North Pole).Hence Banglore is more near to equator than Chennai.
