How far does India's mainland extend from east to west?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: About 2,933 km.

The governing concept is India's longitudinal, or east–west, mainland extent. Across the main continental portion, India stretches approximately 2,933 kilometres from east to west, making option B correct. This measurement should not be confused with the north–south extent of about 3,214 kilometres; the directions and endpoints used for the two figures are different. Option A is too small, while C and D exaggerate the width by roughly 1,000 and 2,000 kilometres respectively. The question refers to the mainland, so the expected school-geography figure is the standard approximate value rather than a distance obtained by adding the islands.
