Why are both latitude and longitude needed to understand India's location and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Latitude shows north-south position and longitude shows east-west position

Latitude and longitude form a coordinate system, and both components are needed to locate a place accurately on Earth. Latitude measures angular distance north or south of the Equator and helps describe India’s north-south position and extent. Longitude measures angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian and describes India’s east-west position and extent; it also helps explain differences in local time. Therefore, option A is correct. Neither coordinate directly measures only coastline length or population, so options B and C are unrelated. Option D is false because latitude and longitude are different measurements with different reference lines and need not have equal numerical values.
