What is the correct order of India's mainland coastline and total coastline?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: About 6100 km, about 7516.6 km

The governing concept is the difference between mainland coastline and total coastline. The mainland coastline refers only to the coast bordering India’s continental landmass and is approximately 6,100 km. Total coastline adds the coastlines of the island groups, including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep, giving the commonly cited figure of about 7,516.6 km. Hence option A has the correct order: mainland first and total second. Option B reverses the two values. Option C incorrectly uses the approximate land-boundary figure for the first value, and option D gives unrelated smaller figures. Including islands must increase, not reduce, the total coastline.
