Size and extent

Correct answer: A. Because coordinates show location, figures show measurement and interpretation shows meaning

The governing concept is the complementary use of spatial evidence. A map or set of coordinates shows where India lies and how its boundaries are arranged. Statistical figures provide measurable information such as area, latitudinal extent, longitudinal extent or coastline length. Interpretation then explains what those measurements mean for climate, communication, resources, administration and regional relations. Option A is correct because it assigns a different but connected role to each source. Option B wrongly treats evidence as decoration. Option C is false because reliable statistics improve map-based understanding, while option D ignores interpretation, which is essential to geographical analysis.

Correct answer: A. Climatic regionality, resource distribution, population density and transport coordination

The governing concept is geographical interrelationship: location, area and extent influence many later patterns rather than remaining isolated facts. India's north-south and east-west dimensions help explain variations in climate and the length of seasonal influences. Its area and physical spread affect the distribution and management of resources, while the size and shape of the country provide a framework for studying population density, regional disparities, transport routes and administrative coordination. Therefore option A is correct. Options B, C and D are unrelated school activities and do not arise as analytical consequences of India's geographical size or extent.

Correct answer: A. On the basis of its unit, direction, context and geographical effect

The governing concept is critical evaluation of geographical facts. A remembered number is useful only after checking its unit, direction, context and implication. For instance, kilometres may describe a linear extent or coastline, whereas square kilometres describe area; a north-south distance cannot be substituted for an east-west distance. Context also determines whether a figure refers to the mainland, the whole country or a percentage of world area. Option A therefore gives the complete basis for expert evaluation. Options B and C judge wording, and D assumes the largest number must be correct, none of which is geographical reasoning.
