The months in which day and night are equal on the Earth-

  1. i. March
  2. ii. June
  3. iii. September

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a i and ii
  2. b i and iii
  3. c ii and iii
  4. d i, ii and iii
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b i and iii

The book says on 21 March and 23 September day and night are equal everywhere on the Earth.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a i and ii: ii is false: in June (21 June) the day is longest in the north; day and night are not equal.
  • c ii and iii: This leaves out i and includes the false ii: 21 March also has equal day and night; 21 June does not.
  • d i, ii and iii: ii is false: day and night are not equal on 21 June, so not all three are true.
