Why is India's north-south extent considered greater than its east-west extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because 3214 km is greater than 2933 km

The statement is based on a direct comparison of the approximate linear dimensions of mainland India. Its north-south extent is about 3,214 kilometres, measured from the northern mainland to the southern mainland, while its east-west extent is about 2,933 kilometres. Since 3,214 is greater than 2,933, the north-south dimension is considered longer. Therefore option A is correct. India’s position in the Northern Hemisphere does not by itself determine the relative lengths of these two dimensions. A long coastline is a separate geographical fact and cannot be used to compare straight-line extent. India is also not the world’s largest country by area. The governing reasoning is simply the numerical inequality 3,214 km > 2,933 km.
