Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Rajasthan
Sikkim lies roughly between 27° N and 28° N. Of the states listed, only Rajasthan spans this latitude band (≈23° N–30° N). Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and the erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir all lie north of 29 °N, so their territory never reaches Sikkim’s latitude.
