India's latitudinal extent spreads over approximately how many degrees?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: About 29 degrees

The governing concept is latitudinal extent, which is calculated from the difference between the northernmost and southernmost latitudes. India’s mainland extends approximately from 8°4'N in the south to 37°6'N in the north. Subtracting these values gives 37°6' − 8°4' = about 29°2', or approximately 29 degrees. Therefore, option C is correct. This north–south span helps explain variations in temperature, duration of daylight and climatic conditions from southern to northern India. The other choices either underestimate the extent, as 10° and 20° do, or overestimate it, as 40° does. The calculation concerns latitude, not longitude or distance in kilometres.
