Which is the correct analysis of 3214 km and 2933 km in the context of India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The first is the north-south extent and the second is the east-west extent

The governing concept is geographical extent: it describes the distance covered by a country in a particular direction, whereas area describes its total surface. India stretches approximately 3,214 km from north to south and about 2,933 km from east to west. Therefore, the first figure represents the north-south extent and the second represents the east-west extent. Option B incorrectly confuses linear extent with boundary measurements, while options C and D mix distance with area, density, or angular coordinates. The units are kilometres, so the figures must describe distances, not latitude or longitude themselves. Hence option A is the only consistent interpretation.
