Consider the following countries : 1. Australia 2. Namibia 3. Brazil 4. Chile Through which of the above does the Tropic of Capricorn pass ?

The Tropic of Capricorn is the major parallel located at approximately 23.5° south latitude and marks the southernmost latitude where the Sun can be directly overhead [1]. Authoritative geographic summaries and guides list the countries crossed by this parallel; for example, The Independent’s guide names Chile, Brazil, Namibia and Australia among the nations intersected by the Tropic of Capricorn. Additional geographic references and mnemonic resources similarly enumerate Namibia, Brazil, Chile and Australia as countries through which the Tropic passes. Since all four countries in the question (Australia, Namibia, Brazil and Chile) are traversed by the Tropic of Capricorn, option 4 is correct.
