Which figure related to India indicates area rather than length?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3.28 million sq km

The governing concept is the distinction between units of area and units of length. Area measures a two-dimensional surface and is expressed in square units, such as square kilometres. Therefore, 3.28 million square kilometres describes the total surface area of India. The other three choices use kilometres without the word “square,” so they represent linear distances: 3,214 km is the approximate north-south extent, 2,933 km is the approximate east-west extent, and 15,200 km refers to the land boundary length used in standard school references. A boundary is also a line, not an area. Hence option A is unambiguous because the unit km² directly identifies an area measurement. Merely recognising the unit is sufficient; no calculation is needed.
