Answer:

India:

  • Latitudinal extent: the mainland extends from 8°4′ N to 37°6′ N; including the islands, the southernmost point is Indira Point (Great Nicobar) at about 6°45′ N. The whole of India lies in the northern hemisphere.
  • Longitudinal extent: from 68°7′ E to 97°25′ E, so the whole country lies in the eastern hemisphere.
  • The Tropic of Cancer (23°30′ N) passes almost through the middle of India, and 82°30′ E is the standard meridian of India.
  • The mainland extends about 3214 km from north to south and about 2933 km from east to west.

Brazil:

  • Latitudinal extent: from 5°15′ N to 33°45′ S, so Brazil lies in both the northern and the southern hemispheres; most of it is in the southern hemisphere.
  • Longitudinal extent: from 34°47′ W to 73°48′ W, so the whole country lies in the western hemisphere.
  • The equator passes through the north of Brazil and the Tropic of Capricorn through the south, so most of the country lies in the tropical zone.
  • Its north–south and east–west extent are both about 4300 km; Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world by area.
