Answer
The temperature of Delhi is less than that of Chennai in December because Delhi lies beyond the Tropic of Cancer, in the Temperate zone. So in December, it receives slanting rays of the sun. But Chennai is located in Torrid zone and hence, it receives vertical rays of the sun throughout the year. Therefore, the temperature of Delhi is lesser during the December.
