Why is India's north south extent considered slightly more than its east west extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The north south distance is about 3214 kilometres

The governing concept is the comparison of India's maximum north–south and east–west dimensions. India extends approximately 3,214 km from north to south, from the northern Himalayan region to the southern end of the mainland, whereas its east–west extent is about 2,933 km. Since 3,214 km is greater than 2,933 km, the north–south dimension is considered slightly longer. Option A gives the relevant measured distance and is correct. The other options are not geographical measurements: east–west distance is certainly not zero, India has a substantial southern region, and the country extends in both eastern and western directions.
