Two towns, P and Q, are on the International Date Line and in the same hemisphere. If the distance between the two towns is 444knm and town P Is located on latitude 3°N, on what latitude is town Q located?

Lat. of town P = 3°
Lat. of town Q = 4°
Distance of town P & town Q = 444km
Diff. in distance = 444 ÷ 111 = 4°
since town P & town Q are on the same hermiephere we add 3° + 4° = 7°
Therefore town Q is on lat. 7°N

the answer is B.
Here is the case , difference in degree latitude = 444km / 111km = 4degrees

if the caculated latitude is bigger than the latitude given in the question you add, if they are on the same hemisphere, of which the question emphasized.

Meaning we are suppose to add them = 3 + 4 = 7degree N

is N because, the question said both towns are on the same hemisphere and the latitude given in the question is 3dgreeN.

there the latitude for town Q is 7degrees N
