India's longitudinal extent lies between which values?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 68°7′ E to 97°25′ E

India’s mainland longitudinal extent is approximately 68°7′ E to 97°25′ E, making option B correct. Longitude measures position east or west of the Prime Meridian, so the correct range must use east or west designations. Option A is the latitudinal extent of the mainland, and option C gives only a partial north-latitude range. Option D places India west of the Prime Meridian and is geographically incorrect. The western boundary is near 68°7′ E and the eastern boundary near 97°25′ E. The difference between these longitudes also explains why local time is not identical everywhere in India, although the country officially follows one Standard Time based on 82°30′ E.
