Give reason

The sun is inclined sometimes to the north and sometimes to the south at midday in Hyderabad but not in New Delhi.

Answer

 Hyderabad is situated between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator. When the sun is in aphelion, then it shines to the north of Hyderabad and when the sun is in perihelion, it shines to the south of Hyderabad at midday but Delhi is in the north of Tropic of Cancer, so this phenomenon does not take place in Delhi.
