In the context of India's size, what is the main difference among 3214 km, 2933 km and 3.28 million sq km?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The first two are distances and the third is area

The governing concept is reading geographical quantities through their units and meanings. The figures 3,214 km and 2,933 km are linear distances: they describe India’s north-south and east-west extents respectively. The expression 3.28 million sq km contains square kilometres, a unit of two-dimensional area, and represents India’s total geographical area. Thus option A correctly separates the first two measurements from the third. They cannot all be coastlines or longitudes: a coastline is measured in kilometres and longitude in degrees. Nor are the first two percentages or the third a time value. Unit analysis provides a clear and unambiguous solution.
