In the study of India's size, 8°4'N and 37°6'N are used for what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To show latitudinal extent

The governing concept is the identification of geographic coordinates by their directional suffix. The letter N means north latitude, and both 8°4'N and 37°6'N are parallels of latitude. Their difference, approximately 29°2', describes the north-south or latitudinal extent of India’s mainland. They do not measure kilometres directly, nor do they indicate a boundary length or coastline. Option A is therefore correct. Longitudinal extent would be expressed with E or W, such as India’s western and eastern longitudes. Options C and D refer to linear boundary features and require measurements in kilometres, not two north-latitude coordinates. Reading the N suffix is the quickest way to eliminate the distractors and identify the relevant extent.
