M wants to visit a place in a Union Territory, which is located at 34° N and 77° E. Which one of the following Union Territories must he have planned to visit ?

The coordinates 34° N and 77° E correspond to the Union Territory of Ladakh. India's latitudinal extent ranges from approximately 8°N to 37°N, and its longitudinal extent from 68°E to 97°E [2]. Specifically, the coordinates 34° N and 77° E are located in the northernmost part of India. Detailed geographic data confirms that Ladakh, which was established as a Union Territory in 2019, has coordinates centered around 34.22° N and 77.56° E. The town of Leh, a major administrative center in Ladakh, is specifically cited at approximately 34°09′ N and 77°35′ E. In contrast, other options like the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry are located much further south, closer to the equator, and do not align with the 34° N latitude [2].
