What is the approximate longitudinal extent of India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sixty-eight degrees seven minutes east to ninety-seven degrees twenty-five minutes east

India’s longitudinal extent is measured between its western and eastern limits. It stretches approximately from 68°7′ E in the west to 97°25′ E in the east, so option A is correct. The letter E shows that both positions are east of the Prime Meridian. Option B gives an incorrect and much narrower range, while option C places the country in western longitudes, which is false. Option D uses degrees north and therefore describes latitude rather than longitude. A useful coordinate rule is that longitude identifies east-west position and is measured from the Prime Meridian, whereas latitude identifies north-south position and is measured from the Equator.
