| Assertion (A) The latitudinal extent influences the duration of day and night as one moves from South to North. |
| Reason (R) Sunrays fall directly on the places located on the equator while the fall slanting towards the poles. Thus, as the latitudes increase, the chances of change in day and night from place to place increases. |
A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C) A is true, but R is false.
D) A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] The sunrays fall directly on the places located on the equator while these fall slanting toward the poles. Thus, as the latitudes increase, the chances of change in day and night from place to place increases. As India lies close to the equator, so, when one moves from South (near the equator) to North the duration of day and night changes.
