What is the safest way to identify latitude and longitude in questions on India's extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: North-south indicators show latitude and east-west indicators show longitude

The governing concept is the coordinate system of latitude and longitude. Latitude measures angular distance north or south of the Equator and is written with N or S. Longitude measures angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian and is written with E or W. Thus the directional suffix or phrase is the safest first clue: north–south means latitude, while east–west means longitude. Option A is correct. Option B is unreliable because a number may represent an area, distance or coordinate. Options C and D confuse units or symbols with coordinate types; percentages and kilometres do not automatically identify longitude or latitude. Context and direction must be checked together.
