Near which longitude is the eastern limit of India's mainland?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 97°25′ E

The eastern limit of India’s mainland is near 97°25′ E longitude, so option D is correct. The mainland’s longitudinal range is approximately 68°7′ E to 97°25′ E. Option A is the western limit, while option B is the Standard Meridian of India used for Indian Standard Time. Although 90° E is an eastern longitude, it is not the accepted extreme eastern longitude of the mainland. The governing idea is that longitude measures position east or west of the Prime Meridian, and within India the longitude values become larger toward the east. Therefore, among the relevant mainland boundary values, 97°25′ E identifies the farthest eastern position.
