What is the approximate latitudinal extent of India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Eight degrees four minutes north to thirty-seven degrees six minutes north

The latitudinal extent of India is measured from its southernmost to its northernmost latitude. India extends approximately from 8°4′ N in the south to 37°6′ N in the north. Therefore option A is correct. The values are latitudes because they are marked N and describe distance north of the Equator. Option B gives an incomplete and inaccurate range, while option C places India in southern latitudes, which is geographically wrong. Option D gives east longitudes, not latitudes, so it refers to an entirely different coordinate measurement. The useful exam distinction is that latitude runs east-west and measures north-south position, whereas longitude measures east-west position.
