Option 1: Srinagar - This city is located in the northern part of India, close to the Himalayan mountain range. Due to its northern latitude and its proximity to the mountain range, Srinagar will experience the phenomenon known as "never getting the vertical rays of the sun". This means that at some point during the year, either during the winter solstice or due to the mountain range blocking the direct sunlight, Srinagar will not receive sunlight perpendicular to the ground, resulting in longer and colder winters. The presence of the mountain range creates shadows and prevents the sun from directly overhead during certain times of the year, making it impossible for Srinagar to receive the vertical rays of the sun.

Option 2: Mumbai - This city is located on the western coast of India and is not affected by the same geographical factors as Srinagar. It is located at a lower latitude and is not close to any significant mountain range. Therefore, Mumbai does receive vertical rays of the sun at some point during the year.

Option 3: Kolkata - Kolkata is also located at a lower latitude and does not have any significant geographical features that would prevent it from receiving vertical rays of the sun. Therefore, Kolkata does receive vertical rays of the sun at some point during the
