Which conclusion is correct when India's north-south extent is greater than its east-west extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India's vertical spread is greater

The key concept is directional extent, which compares the distance between the northern and southern limits with the distance between the western and eastern limits. India’s mainland north-south distance is commonly given as about 3,214 km, whereas its east-west distance is about 2,933 km. Since the first distance is larger, India has a greater north-south, or vertical, spread than east-west spread. Therefore option A is the correct conclusion. This comparison says nothing about the country’s area becoming zero, so option B is impossible. India has a substantial coastline, which rules out option C. Option D is also incorrect because a north-south comparison does not mean that India lies only westward; it concerns the relative dimensions of the whole country.
