What does India's longitudinal extent of about twenty nine degrees mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India extends considerably east-west

The governing concept is longitude, which measures angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. The difference between India’s eastern and western longitudes describes its east–west extent; an extent of about 29 degrees therefore means that India spreads considerably from east to west. Option C is correct. North–south distance is represented by latitude, so A confuses the two coordinate systems. India does not lie on only one meridian, and the Equator is a latitude, not a longitude; therefore B and D are also incorrect. A large longitudinal extent can produce differences in local solar time, which is why a common standard time is useful for national coordination.
