Which is the approximate longitudinal extent of the Indian mainland?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 68°7'E to 97°25'E

Longitude measures how far a place lies east or west of the Prime Meridian at Greenwich. Because India stretches across the eastern side of the Prime Meridian, its mainland limits are expressed as eastern longitudes. The approximate longitudinal extent of the mainland is from 68°7'E in the west to 97°25'E in the east. Therefore option A is correct. Option B gives latitudes and describes the north-south extent, not the east-west extent. Option C has an incorrect western endpoint because 37°6'E is a latitude-derived value, not India’s western mainland longitude. Option D gives western longitudes, whereas India lies east of Greenwich. The correct answer follows from both the numerical endpoints and their E direction.
