Why is it necessary to study both area and extent while understanding India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Area shows total land and extent shows directional spread

Area and extent are related but different measures of geographical size. Area expresses the total two-dimensional surface occupied by India, usually in square kilometres. Extent describes how far the country spreads in particular directions, especially from north to south and from east to west, usually in kilometres or degrees. Studying both gives a fuller picture: two countries may have similar areas but very different shapes and directional spans. Option A states this distinction accurately. Options B, C and D either assign unrelated meanings to the terms or deny their direct relevance to size. Hence option A is correct.
