At which of the following places, noon sun shines exactly overhead twice a year?
  1. a.Digha
  2. b.Patna
  3. c.Kanpur
  4. d.Delhi

Answer: (A) Digha

The noon sun is overhead twice a year only at places between the Tropics, and Digha (about 21.6° N) lies south of the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N). Patna, Kanpur and Delhi are all north of the Tropic, so the noon sun is never directly overhead there.
