In the study of India's size, 68°7'E and 97°25'E are used for what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To show longitudinal extent

The governing concept is recognising longitude from the coordinate notation and relating it to east-west extent. The suffix E means east longitude, so 68°7'E and 97°25'E identify the western and eastern limits of India’s mainland in the standard school-geography description. Subtracting the two values gives approximately 29°18' of longitudinal spread. These coordinates therefore describe the country’s east-west or longitudinal extent. Option B is incorrect because latitudes use N or S, not E. Options C and D cannot be obtained from longitude coordinates: coastline requires a length measurement, while world area share is a percentage comparison. Thus, identifying the E suffix and the east-west direction leads directly to option A.
