What is the approximate coastline of mainland India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: About 6100 kilometres

The mainland coastline of India is commonly given as approximately 6,100 kilometres in school geography. This measurement follows the coastal edge of the Indian mainland along the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Bay of Bengal. It does not refer only to one short coastal state, and it should not be confused with the much longer figure obtained when island coastlines are included in certain measurements.

Option B is therefore correct. The other values are unsuitable: 2,000 kilometres and 300 kilometres are far too short for the coastline of a country extending across much of the Indian peninsula, while 15,000 kilometres is much too large for the mainland figure. The word “approximately” is important because different measurement methods can produce small variations, but about 6,100 kilometres is the standard textbook value for mainland India.
