Which is the correct pair of India's north–south length and east–west width?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3,214 km and 2,933 km

The correct answer is C. India’s mainland measures approximately 3,214 km from north to south and about 2,933 km from east to west. The governing concept is the distinction between latitudinal and longitudinal extent: north–south length follows the meridian direction, while east–west width follows the parallel direction. Option A contains the same two figures but reverses their order, so it is incorrect. Option B gives values associated with other kinds of distance or an exaggerated scale and does not describe India’s mainland dimensions. Option D is far too small. Remembering the direction attached to each measurement prevents the common error of confusing the longer north–south dimension with the east–west width.
