In understanding India's size, the figure 3,214 km is related to what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: North-south extent

India’s north–south extent is the distance from its northernmost part to its southernmost mainland point, measured approximately from north to south. In the standard school-geography figures, this extent is about 3,214 km. India’s east–west extent is a different measurement and is about 2,933 km. Keeping these two directions separate is important because both numbers describe the size of the country but refer to different dimensions.

Option A is correct because 3,214 km refers to India’s north–south extent. Option B is incorrect because the east–west figure is about 2,933 km. A land boundary is the length of India’s borders with neighbouring countries, not its north–south size, and coastline is only the length of its coastal edge. Therefore the number must be matched with its direction, not with a boundary or coastline measurement.
