How far does India's mainland extend from north to south?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: About 3,214 km.

The governing concept is India's latitudinal, or north–south, mainland extent. From the northern Himalayan region to the southern tip of the mainland, the distance is approximately 3,214 kilometres. Therefore, option C is correct. This figure should be kept separate from the east–west extent, which is about 2,933 kilometres, because the two measurements follow different directions. Options A and B underestimate the north–south length, while D overestimates it by about 1,000 kilometres. The word ‘mainland’ is important: the question concerns the continuous continental portion and not a combined measurement of every island.
