| Answer» D. Srinagar | |

Explanation: All latitudes from 22.5 degrees North to 22.5 degrees South of the equator receive vertical or direct rays twice every year as the tilted earth circles the sun. Tropic of Cancer is the determining line for finding out whether a city in India will get vertical rays of the Sun or not. Since Srinagar lies to the north of the Tropic of Cancer, it never gets the vertical rays of the Sun. |
