Correct Answer: Srinagar


Solution : The correct option is Srinagar.

Srinagar will never get the vertical rays of the Sun. This is because Srinagar is located at a higher latitude in the northern hemisphere, and the vertical rays of the Sun occur at or near the equator during the equinoxes. Srinagar's higher latitude means that the angle at which the Sun's rays strike the Earth's surface will always be slanted, even during the summer solstice when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky. In contrast, locations near the equator, like Mumbai, Chennai, and Thiruvananthapuram, have a higher likelihood of receiving more vertical rays of the Sun due to their proximity to the equator.
