What type of information do figures like 3214 km and 2933 km provide about India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Directional linear extent

Figures such as 3214 km and 2933 km describe India’s linear extent. Linear extent means the distance measured from one end of a country to another along a particular direction. In school geography, these figures are used to express India’s approximate north–south length and east–west breadth, helping us understand the country’s shape and spatial spread. The unit kilometre confirms that the figures represent distance. Total area would be expressed in square kilometres, not ordinary kilometres. World share would normally be stated as a percentage or fraction of the world’s land area. A standard meridian is a selected line of longitude used for calculating standard time, so it is not a distance measurement. Therefore, option A correctly identifies the information given by these figures.
