India's total coastline is taken as 7516.6 km; what does it include?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mainland and island coastlines

The governing concept is the measurement of a country’s coastal extent. A coastline is the boundary where land meets the sea, and a country’s total coastline includes the shores of its mainland as well as the shores of its islands. India’s island groups, especially the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep, add substantial coastal length to the mainland figure. Therefore, option A is correct. The Himalayan boundary is an inland mountain boundary and cannot be counted as coastline. Land boundaries with neighbouring countries are measured separately, while the Tropic of Cancer is a parallel of latitude and has no role in measuring coastal length. The figure is therefore not an area or a land-border measurement.
