Solution

The correct option is C 'X' passes through Jharkhand and Tripura.

The Tropic of Cancer, the 23⁰ 30’ N latitude, divides India into two almost equal halves.

The Tropic of Cancer passes through eight Indian States: Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura, and Mizoram.

The 82˚5' E longitude is what is considered while calculating Indian Standard Time. It is also known as India's central meridian.
