Which river crosses the Tropic of Cancer twice?
- a.Mahi
- b.Mahananda
- c.Narmada
- d.Chambal
Answer: (A) Mahi
The Mahi rises in Madhya Pradesh south of the Tropic, flows north into Rajasthan across it, then turns south-west through Gujarat and crosses it again before reaching the Gulf of Khambhat. The Narmada flows entirely south of the Tropic, and the Chambal and Mahananda cross it at most once.
