    A)  22nd November

    B)  22nd December

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The shortest day and the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere occur during winter solstice which is usually observed on 21st or 22nd December. This is also the day of the longest day and the shortest night in the Southern Hemisphere. The opposite case takes place during June solstice - the longest day and the shortest night occur in the Northern Hemi- sphere and the shortest day and the longest night are observed in the Southern Hemisphere.
