MCQ practice · SSC Bangladesh and Global Studies Board questions · Chapter 3: The Solar System and the Earth
On the Earth's surface place ‘B’ lies exactly opposite place ‘A’. If A is at 42° North latitude, what will B's latitude be?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a 42° South
- b 42° North
- c 48° East
- d 48° West
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: a 42° South
The book says an antipode has the same latitude degrees in the opposite hemisphere; 70° North gives 70° South.
Why the other options are wrong
- b 42° North: 42° North would put both in the same hemisphere; an antipode lies in the other hemisphere.
- c 48° East: East is a side of longitude; a latitude is north or south.
- d 48° West: West is a side of longitude; a latitude is north or south.
